Studies in Nonlinear Dynamics & Econometrics, 2012
After an introduction on the mathematical memory formalisms and on their use in many branches of science, we consider a model the evolutions of m > 2 economies yi(t), where we assume that their interaction is based on the differences of the values of their evolution status.

National Institute Economic Review, 1991
Economic convergence within the EMS member states is a precondition for further moves to economic and monetary integration. The Delors Report has set out a path toward EMU in three stages, where transition to the next stage depends on some degree of convergence being achieved in the previous stage.

Spatial Analysis of Economic Convergence

2009
This chapter reviews some of the major econometric models, approaches and issues related to the spatial dimensions of economic convergence and inequality. Key themes concern the implications of spatial dependence (autocorrelation) and heterogeneity for the specification, estimation, and interpretation of convergence models on the one hand and, on the ...

Ecoterrorism is a challenging term because neither threats nor responses are easily defined. Instead, this problem can be solved only by complex means and applying interdisciplinary approaches. Here, we propose modeling ecological-economic complex systems to calculate the possible negative impacts of pollution – and especially intentional pollution ...
