   Abstract:
   The stock market is a simple market system. Zeeman's dynamic analysis, using catastrophe theory, of stock prices is shown to be equivalent to a standard economic model in which price movements produce deviation—amplifying feedbacks. Zeeman's catastrophe result in this system is thus based on an implicit assumption of irrational behavior. Copyright © 1983 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
