Simulation: Methodology and Application in Agricultural Economics
Abstract
The diverse modelling activity coming under a defined concept of Simulation is reviewed first through a general outline of suggested methodology and secondly through a survey of applications in agricultural economics and kindred disciplines. The review concludes with a consideration of present problems with and future prospects for this increasingly important tool.Download Info
