Abstract

This chapter studies the problem that when the control-theory model of an economic system is established with the parameters determined, how can one design the corresponding economic policy that is based on feedback of the system so that the performance indicator would approach the pre-determined objective. By identifying the “invisible hand” that adjusts the economic market automatically as the feedback controller that regulates the economy’s supply and demand, this chapter focuses on the design of feedback controls that could withstand disturbances of the environment. This chapter establishes a feedback control model for the economic system, provides proofs for how well this proposed control method could perform in practice, and expands this method to design the linear multivariable feedback control and the feedback control of discrete variables.
