An Application of Decentralized Control Theory to an Economic Policy Model
نویسنده
چکیده
We show an application of decentralized control theory to a macroeconomic model of unemployment and inflation. Fiscal and monetary policies are assumed to be designed by different institutions, namely the government and central bank respectively, and both policy-makers are assigned particular targets and may have different information. It is shown that the economic system can be stabilized by decentralized feedback. An interpretation in economic terms of the stabilizing controls and the conditions for stabilizability is given. Key-words: Decentralized control; large-scale systems; stability properties; stabilizability; stabilizing feedback; fixed modes; economic systems.

The Contribution of Control Theory to the Analysis of Economic Policy
In this paper, we give a survey of applications of control theory to the analysis of economic policy problems. We discuss applications of closed-loop control and of optimum control theory, including deterministic, stochastic and decentralized optimum control. A critical evaluation of these approaches shows that for an empirically useful theory of economic policy, the application of dynamic game...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Photovoltaic Technology Application in Decentralized Electricity Production in Iran: a Conceptual Framework
Using a variety of solar power plants is one of the solutions governments use to respond to energy and sustainable development needs. While Iran has a strong potential for using solar energy, the application of solar energy, especially through PV technology, has been limited due to the country’s richness of fossil fuels and their low prices. Therefore, it is important to adopt effective strateg...
متن کاملEconomic Droop Scheme for Decentralized Power Management in DC Microgrids
This paper proposes an autonomous and economic droop control scheme for DC microgrid application. In this method, a cost-effective power sharing technique among various types of DG units is properly adopted. The droop settings are determined based on an algorithm to individually manage the power management without any complicated optimization methods commonly applied in the centralized control ...
متن کاملTrade Liberalization and International Competitiveness in Iran: An Application of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model
Trade liberalization is often the core attention of foreign economic strategies in developing countries. Findings in the literature confirm a significant effect of free trade on developing economies through which the economic sectors benefit from technology transfer and spillovers and increasing production capacities and input productivity leading to international competitiveness. On the other...
متن کاملEconomic Competitiveness and Environmental Policy: An Application of the Heckscher-Ohlin-Vanek (HOV) Model
The relationship between trade liberalisation and the environment has been the subject of a growing body of literature in recent years. As can be seen from the differing assessment of instrument types for environmental protection, one of the important factors for the relationship between environmental protection and economic competitiveness are regulatory stringency and efficiency. This concern...
