Title: Fluctuations in a mixed IS-LM business cycle model Authors: Abdelilah Kaddar (Chouaib Doukkali Univ., Morocco) Hamad Talibi Alaoui (Chouaib Doukkali Univ., Morocco) Abstract: In the present paper, we extend a delayed IS-LM business cycle model by introducing an additional advance (anticipated capital stock) in the investment function. The resulting model is represented in terms of mixed differential equations. For the deviating argument $\tau$ (advance and delay) being a bifurcation parameter we investigate the local stability and the local Hopf bifurcation. Also some numerical simulations are given to support the theoretical analysis. Submitted June 21, 2008. Published September 26, 2008. Math Subject Classifications: 37G15, 91B62.
