Abstract

With the aim of exploring the conditions which determine a chaotic behavior in the long-run properties of an economic model, this paper innovates the existing Keynesian macroeconomic literature by showing that the dynamics of the well-known IS-LM model may generate a double-scroll strange attractor, for a particular set of structural parameters.
