Open AccessCodimension-two border collision bifurcation in a two-class growth model with optimal saving and switch in behavior
We consider a two-class growth model with optimal saving and switch in behavior. The dynamics of this model is described by a two-dimensional (2D) discontinuous map. We obtain stability conditions of the borde...

Emerging Trade Patterns in a 3-Region Linear NEG Model: Three Examples
This chapter draws attention to a specific feature of a NEG model that uses linear (and not iso-elastic) demand functions, namely its ability to account for zero trade. Thus, it represents a suitable framework...
