Existence theory in economics is usually in real domains such as the findingsof chaotic trajectories in models of economic growth, tâtonnement, oroverlapping generations models. Computational examples, however, sometimesconverge rapidly to cyclic orbits when in theory they should be nonperiodicalmost surely. We explain this anomaly as the result of digital approximationand conclude that both theoretical and numerical behavior can still illuminateessential features of the real data.

Testing for Reverse Causation and Omitted Variable Bias in Regressions
This paper shows through regression simulations that, when there are two highly collinear regressors, at least one of which has a simultaneous relationship with the dependent variable, t-ratios… Expand
