Abstract

In this thesis, we discuss the application of nonlinear dynamics and chaos theory to economics. First, we overview the necessary mathematical background. Second, we specify conditions for chaos for a standard economic model. Next, we use Mathematica to simulate our conditions. Finally, we present the theoretical basis for chaos.
