Abstract

In most of the previous chapters we have considered one period economic theories, namely, theories where time does not enter in an essential way. But, of course, as in many other fields, real world economies operate in time’ and every theory ought to be put in a dynamic framework. Mathematically, time can be represented in two different ways: as a discrete variable, taking only integer values, or as a continuous variable. It is essential to note that every model in continuous time can be translated into a discrete time model and the other way round.
