Synopsis

This book is intended to be one of discussions and debate on themes of common interest in economics, finance and dynamical systems. It offers twelve articles by leading experts on the interface between economics and finance, dynamics and statistics–surveying a very wide range of empirical approaches to modeling. It examines the different approaches for the modeling of economic and financial processes so as to stimulate the communication of ideas and to overcome the barriers of specialization.

From the Back Cover

System Dynamics in Economic and Financial Models Edited by Christiaan Heij, Hans Schumacher, Bernard Hanzon and Kees Praagman System Dynamics in Economic and Financial Models discusses different approaches for dynamic modelling of economic and financial data, and includes empirical applications, particularly in finance and macroeconomics, to illustrate the methods discussed. Written by leading experts from a wide range of backgrounds, varying from econometries and finance to systems and control, each chapter is followed by a comments section that presents alternative and sometimes contrasting points of view. The authors look at the interface between economics and finance, and examine topics including

  • non–linear dynamics
  • chaos
  • structural change
  • trends and cointegration
  • general methodologies in empirical modelling
