theoretical methods used in analyzing chaotic dynamics and statistical tools that detect the presence of nonlinearities in economic data. Section II discusses models currently used to simulate nonlinear economic phenomena. Section III applies the methods to economic time series, examining areas such as applications to financial markets, implications of nonlinear dynamics for financial risk management, and nonlinear dynamics in the pork cycle.
