Abstract
The diversity of potential approaches and applications of M-P chain analysis is illustrated here by discussing five specific applications (for a more comprehensive overview, see Kandelaars 1998). Each of the applied models combines elements of both physical flow and economic models in a particular way. It is important to know what model type to use for which purpose. The main focus of the applications A to D is the demand for a service that may be met with different products (partial), while in application E the whole economy, including production sectors and household groups is allowed to change (general). Table III.2.1 shows which type of models have been used in the applications discussed in this section, as well as which “pure model types” of Table III.2.1 they integrate.
