steady-states of higher-order discrete dynamic systems Raaj Sah Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control, Volume 24, Number 6, September 2000, pages 1481-1489.

In studying such models, one type of analysis that economists are often interested in is the assessment of the signs and the magnitudes of the effects of a change in the parameters of the dynamic system on the stable steady states of the system. This paper presents some results for such comparative statics analysis. Brief remarks explain the results and illustrate their potential economic usefulness.
