Abstract

In economic chaos theory, results often follow from the analysis of discrete dynamical systems. In this thesis, we review three methods for identifying chaos in continuous dynamical systems: the analysis of Lyapunov exponents, methods for computing unstable periodic orbits and the 0-1 test for chaos. The results for three economic models do not seem to be in agreement for the different methods.
