Principles of System Analysis and their applicationto Economic Problems Solving
Content • System Approach • System; System-wide patterns • System Modeling • Regulation and Control • Problems of Description of Complex Systems
Types of Systems • causal | goal – aspiring • natural | artificial • real | abstract • static | dynamic • centralized | decentralized • well organized | poorly organized (diffuse) • adaptive systems | self-organized systems • complex systems
System-wide Patterns • integrity • divisibility • hierarchy • emergence
Model – a system designed to understanding properties of some other system
Types of models • models of interaction with environment • content models • models of structure • cause – effect models • dynamic models
Regulation and Control • Feedback mechanism • Feed-forward mechanism • Degree of ordering:
Characteristics of Complex Systems • difficult to determine boundaries • (usually) non-equilibrium • (often) exhibit hysteresis • cascading failure • (may be) nested; economy -> organizations -> people • nonlinear relationships (butterfly effect) • complex feedback loops
Behaviour of a Complex System • stable zone • intermediate layer (phase transition, “edge of chaos”) • Instability zone
