Theory of Logistic Curve: To Explain the Transition of Japanese Economy after World War II

The Japanese Economy after World War II has greatly changed. It is a general understood that the changes or the transition of Japanese Economy could be explained not with linear dynamics but with nonlinear dynamics. We have a theoretical hypothesis that the transition of the Japanese Economy after World War II would be rationally explained using a logistic curve (that is, an S curve). Accordingly, it is our purpose to clarify this in the next three issues in this paper. The firnt issue will formulate a logistic curve mathematically. Second issue will prove the chaos arising from the final stage of the changes to the logistic curve. Third issue will clarify whether the transition of Japanese Economy after World War II could be e:xplained rationally using a logistic curve or not
