Economic Evolution and Demographic Change 
Formal Models in Social Sciences

The articles collected in this volume have two features incommon: they wantto integrate economics, demography andgeography, and they want to overcome the stationary approachin modelling in favour of a dynamic one. The book issubdivided into three parts, where Part I is focussing oneconomic evolution, Part II on geographical development and Part III is related to demographic change. The presentvolume aims at providing a new look at this triangle in viewof the classical background of discussions by introducingnew research ideas focussing in nonlinear dynamics andstochastic modelling. Thus the main purpose of this book isto make a contribution to the interdisciplinary work neededto integrate the effortsbetween these three research fieldsand to serve as a research source in demonstrating thecurrent state of art in dynamic modelling. The book isaddressed to social scientists in general, andthose in particular with a background in economics, geographics and demographics. It should also be of interestto mathematicians, physicists, and systems analystsinterested in model building and applications of nonlineardynamics.
