Interaction of heterogeneous socio-economic cycles — •Andreas Bohn — TU Darmstadt, FB Biologie - Graduiertenkolleg, Schnittspahnstr. 10, 64287 Darmstadt

Oscillatory dynamics are a fundamental phenomenon in physics, biology as well as sociology and economics. Over the past 20 years, a number of models describing socio-economical periodic phenomena such as, e.g., dynastic or business cycles, have been developed using methods from nonlinear dynamics. The present work investigates the aggregated dynamics of a multitude of such oscillating systems being coupled to each other. A focus is on the effects of parametric heterogeneity in the oscillator ensemble, i.e assuming that the amplitude and frequency of the individual systems are non-identical.
