Description

The project includes elements of static optimization.

Part one is devoted to developing a differential equations model of an economic system following its conceptual description.

Part two focuses on simple qualitative analysis of the constructed model and interpreting the obtained analytic outcomes.

Part three asks students to determine the optimal value of a key model parameter using the standard calculus first-derivative test.
