Abstract: 

Different concepts of hysteresis utilized in economics are compared. „Real" micro- and macroeconomic hysteresis occurs in the case of multibranch-nonlinearity, i.e. temporary exogenous shocks lead to switches between different „branches" of an entire relationship. The relation represented by a single currently valid branch is locally stable, but in the case of a branch-to-branch-transition a local structural instability occurs. Contrarily, persistence characteristics of dynamic systems of first order difference equations with unit-roots - called „quasi"-hysteresis - are shown to be based on a global indifference-instability of the system.
