Treating the mathematical methods used in the economic dynamics, this book shows how they are utilised to build and analyse dynamical models. Accordingly, the focus is on the methods, and every new mathematical technique introduced is followed by its application to select economic models. The mathematical methods covered range from elementary linear difference and differential equations and simultaneous systems to the qualitative analysis of non-linear dynamical systems. Stability considerations are stressed throughout, including many advanced topics. Bifurcation theory and chaos theory are also dealt with. The reader is guided through a step-by-step analysis of each topic, be it a mathematical method or an economic model. This "user-friendly" feature is also present in the exercises.

"The comprehensiveness and depth of the book must make it at least approach Bible status in economic dynamics." - Economic Record
"This fourth edition of Gandolfo' s masterful book on economic dynamics is the premier source on dynamic mathematical tools for economists, with illustrations from many areas of current economic research. Not only is the book valuable as an encyclopedic reference book for researchers but is an excellent choice for a textbook on economic dynamics. Gandolfo has managed to provide background in even the most advanced areas of nonlinear dynamics in a readable manner avoiding unnecessarily advanced notation. As a result, the book is broadly accessible while including coverage of many of the deepest areas of current research in economic dynamics. A glance through the table of contents is enough to indicate to almost any serious economist that this is a book to buy."
William A. Barnett, Oswald Distinguished Professor of Macroeconomics, Department of Economics, University of Kansas, USA, and Editor, Macroeconomic Dynamics
