The National Economy, as a Material Stock and Flow System

  • Chapter
Current Topics in Cybernetics and Systems

Abstract

We give a detailed economic model of the material stock and flow system in a national economy and examine the principles and means of control as well as the resources and the structure of that system. We then deal with the mathematical tools of its description and control and also describe some of the empirical results which have been achieved in the Hungarian economy by using this system model.
