Modelling the Structure of the Economy

This work focuses on the structure of macroeconomic variables and its role in determining the growth patterns of the real economy. Technological links and demand habits are put together and theri mutual interactions quantified through simulation. Constant attention is devoted to the consistency in the definition of each macroeconomic variable at both aggregate and sectoral level as well as to the consistant determination of parameters which have an overall validity. The foundations of the formalized treatment of this subject, which is a main topic of economic debate, are given in the book in terms of the recent developments of non linear dynamic schemes.
