TLDR
This book introduces chaos and economics in a continuous-time model of inventory business cycles and applications to Economics, and discusses the role of software in this transformation.

Second-mover advantage in a market-entry game ⁄

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied a market entry game with a second-mover advantage and showed that there can be a non-monotonic relationship between the probability with which a player will invest and the length of time until the deadline.

Technological substitution effects with ISIS, a spatial, inter-sectoral nonlinear dynamic model

TL;DR: In this paper, a sensitivity analysis for the parameter controlling price elasticity of technological change concerning the labour factor was carried out for the macroscopic level for Germany with an error range of about 10% around observations.

Social Networks in Nonlinear Dynamics, Chaos and Fractals

TL;DR: The seeds of twentieth century mathematical Chaos Theory grew in the networks associated with the internal combustion engine and radio electronics and show that the ideas of a network community for innovation go beyond the examples from mechanical science in Chaps.
