the system dynamics technique is an object-oriented approach that studies and manages complex feedback systems. its merits include the friendly and easy development and improvement of a model. it is also used as a decision tool for engineering problems. in this paper, the system dynamics technique was used to simulate the performance of a subsurface drainage system in an unsteady state. the mod...

Over the last several hundred years, local and national educational systems have evolved from relatively simple systems to incredibly complex, interdependent, policy-laden structures, to which many question their value, effectiveness, and direction they are headed. System Dynamics is a field of analysis used to guide policy and system design in numerous fields including business and urban plann...

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the significance of the theory of complex systems for analyzing economic evolution. We emphasize the necessity of the structural dynamic approach and discuss possible implications of the theory of complex systems for studying economic processes with different speeds of change. We illustrate a way to construct a general economic theory that includes the ma...
