It characterizes the conflict between the exogenous priority system that is specified by the leadership and the endogenous priority system that emerges from the structure of an interdependent economy. In general, the authors find that a shock in any sector causes unemployed resources in the nonpriority sector of the priority model. Also, final output in this model is always less than or equal to that obtained in the marginalist model.  aAlso available on the internet via WWW in PDF format.  aDescription based on print version record. 0aSoviet UnionxEconomic conditionsy1985-1991xEconometric models. 0aSoviet UnionxEconomic policyy1986-1991xEconometric models.1 aStaugaard, Peter B.eauthor.2 aNational Defense Research Institute (U.S.).bInternational Economic Policy Program.2 aRand Corporation.1 aUnited States.bDepartment of Defense.bDirector of Net Assessment. 0aRand note ;v2840.41yOnline Accessuhttp://www.rand.org/pubs/notes/N2840/
