Toward a Policy Model of World Economic Development with Special Attention to the Agricultural Sector

Abstract

"Two major virtues of J.A.C. Brown's model are comprehensiveness and consistency. It reminds us very clearly that the world economy is a closed system. The exports of one country are imports of other countries. Inconsistencies among the export plans of different countries can be clearly exposed and quantified only within a complete model which includes all countries (or, as in Brown's model, all multicountry regions.)"
