Multiple Objective Economic Control Problems and Fuzzy Systems Analysis

Macro-Economic Planning with Conflicting Goals

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Economics and Mathematical Systems ((LNE,volume 230))

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the possible advantages of adopting a fuzzy system theoretic approach to the analysis of multiple objective economic policy problems. It begins with a review of three applications of control theoretic thinking to economic policy problems in which different types of system description and control mechanism are used. A general system description which includes the three reviewed descriptions as special cases is given and methods for dealing with multiple control criteria in the context of this general description are examined. The transformation of the general system description into a fuzzy system theoretic form is described and the basic principles of fuzzy control are then outlined.
