I've never pursued it but always thought it would be an interesting way to approach the question.

I'm already pretty familiar with that literature. What I want to know is whether anyone has specifically applied synchronized chaos to the problem.

I'm already pretty familiar with that literature. What I want to know is whether anyone has specifically applied synchronized chaos to the problem. As I said in the OP, I already Googled for it and didn't see anything promising. I’m not interested in generic theories of boom/bust or business cycles.

Thu, 11 Jun 2009 19:49:24 +0000 http://emergentfool.com/?p=1144#comment-1843 I always thought that the research on mode locking had some promise as an avenue of research... if you can persuade yourself that the economy has some kind of inherent cyclicality (think of a complex system that gravitates to some kind of periodic solution, there have to be attractors out there that fit the bill), then you could get synchronization with relatively weak signal sharing... the same way you would if you put to grandfather clocks next to each other. I've never pursued it but always thought it would be an interesting way to approach the question.

It certainly sounds like a promising research path someone should pursue.
