Abstract

Many economic models are now explicitly dynamic and stochastic. Their state variables evolve in line with the decisions and actions of individual economic agents. These decisions are identified in turn by imposing rationality. Depending on technology, market structure, time discount rates and other primitives, rational behavior may lead either to stability or to instability.
