What I'm about to say is at the outside edge of my mathematical competence. Also, although I've worked in financial institutions on the systems side of things, I've never worked in fintech, specifically. So, please forgive me, if I muck it up.

In routine EE work, we primarily use the Laplace transform with linear, time-invariant (LTI) systems, and in control theory, specifically, we use this mathematical tool to analyse LTI system stability. A large portion of engineering systems are LTI. Of course, there are non-linear, time-variant engineering systems. But the design of such complex, dynamic systems are beyond my competence.

Financial and economic systems are, by nature, non-linear, time-variant systems. I am aware that economists use Laplace transform in their stability analysis work. I just don't know the details of their techniques.

Thomas, what say you?
