General models as an approach to socio-economic systems — •Thilo Gross — ICBM, Carl von Ossietzky Universität, 26111 Oldenburg

The central problem of mathematical modelling is to formulate theoretical and experimental insights in the language of mathematics. Because of the complexity of socio-economic systems it can be very difficult to derive explicit mathematical functions that describe them. An alternative is the investigation of general models. In these models the processes are described with general mathematical functions, which are not specified. Despite their generality such models can be analysed efficiently in the framework of local bifurcation theory. In the past this modelling approach has been applied to ecological systems. It has been shown that general models can be used to generalize findings, identify key parameters and to point out degeneracies in specific models.
