The analysis builds upon a new method developed, which investigates the number of pure imaginary roots of the characteristic equation. The method was applied to the time-tobuild models of Asea and Zak (1999) and Winkler (2004).vii, 56 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessHopf CyclesOptimal Growth ModelsDelayHD75.5 .Y85 2008Economic development--Mathematical models.Mathematical optimization.Business cycles.Economics, Mathematical.On the existence of Hopf cycles in optimal growth models with time delayThesis
