The stability problem in the Kaldor–Kalecki business cycle model

We consider the Kaldor–Kalecki model of the business cycle which is the modified Kaldor model with the Kalecki time delay in investment. The model is formulated in terms of a second-order nonlinear delay differential equation with a negative feedback. We investigate the problem of stability of cycles caused by retarded action. The method of a centre manifold is used to find the conditions for the Hopf bifurcation. The conditions for stability of limit cycles on the centre manifold is given.
