Commodity Programs and Control Theory
用自适应控制理论分析美国商品计划的决策过程，提出用多期开环反馈控制辅助农业政策制定，并通过多商品政策模拟器验证可行性。
Abstract The decision‐making process for commodity programs in the United States is cast in terms of adaptive control theory, following the control framework outlined by Rausser. It is argued that the actual commodity program decision‐making process can be viewed as a sequential multiperiod control problem and that multiple period, open‐loop feedback control of a disaggregate policy simulation model can be used to assist agricultural policy makers. The empirical results present the first‐round application of a suggested sequential use of control techniques and demonstrate the feasibility of applying control procedures to a multicommodity, agricultural policy simulator.
