| Abstract
|
:
|
Three different lines of approach have contributed to the theory of optimal planning. One approach considers the problem from the view-point of a national government and its adviser, the econometrician planning speci- alist. A later, well-developed example of a model based on this approach is, for example, the Czech model by Cerny et al.
