FEEDBACK MODELS OF MONOPOLISTIC BUSINESS POLICIES: (Part 1: Price policy approaches)

This is the first of two parts of a paper in which we shall develop microeconomic price models of monopolistic competition using methods and tools of feedback theory. The models discussed are based on an approach presented by Billstroem and Thore in 1964. In the second part we will develop a different approach which can better deal with real problems. All feedback models will be simulated by means of the simulation language CSMP/360 III.
