This paper explores the effects of incomplete markets and positive spillovers on aggregate and industry output behavior. We consider an economy composed of a fixed set of infinitely-lived industries. When industries coordinate production decisions they jointly improve their productivity.

Detection and isolation of faults are important tasks for improving the reliability of process industries in order to enhance their products quality. This paper investigates the detection and isolation of faults using structured residuals. Actuator and sensor faults are considered. Residuals are generated using a bank of unknown input observers (UIO). Three-tank benchmark system was used as a p...
