font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The year 2009 marked the 70th anniversary of the
publication of Samuelson's Multiplier-Accelerator model, which laid out a
rigorous mathematical formulation of the theory of Business Cycles. We note
that today's economic climate is very similar to when Samuelson described his
model, so the global response to the present crisis in the form of fiscal
stimulus motivated a reconsideration of Samuelson's model. The original
Samuelson model is extended with a fiscal stimulus program that is modelled as
a discontinuity in the government expenditure. We will see the effects of a
discontinuous governmental expenditure policy as a control methodology and also
how a simple modification of the original model yields some interesting
dynamics in terms of periodic orbits and chaotic fluctuations.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
