Overview

The articles collected in this volume have two features in common: they seek to integrate economics, demographics and geography, and they seek to overcome the stationary approach in modelling in favour of a dynamic one. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1 focuses on economic evolution, Part 2 on geographical development and the final section on demographic change. The volume provides a new look at this triangle in view of the classical background of discussions by introducing new research ideas in nonlinear dynamics and stochastic modelling. Thus, the main purpose of the book is to make a contribution to the interdisciplinary work needed to integrate the efforts between these three research fields and to serve as a research source in demonstrating the current state of the art in dynamic modelling. The book is addressed to social scientists in general, and those in particular with a background in economics, geography and demographics. It should also be of interest to mathematicians, physicists, and systems analysts interested in model building and applications of nonlinear dynamics.
