theoretical and analytical, used to study the most general properties and patterns of development of economic processes; applied, used to solve specific problems.
2. According to the levels of the economic processes under study:
production and technological; socio-economic.
3. By the nature of the reflection of cause-and-effect relationships:
deterministic; non-deterministic (probabilistic, stochastic), taking into account the uncertainty factor.
4. According to the method of reflecting the time factor:
static. Here, all dependencies relate to one moment or period of time); dynamic, characterizing changes in processes over time.
5. According to the form of mathematical dependencies:
linear. The most convenient for analysis and calculations, as a result of which they have become widespread; nonlinear ones.
6. According to the degree of detail (degree of coarsening of the structure):
aggregated (“macromodels”); detailed (“micromodels”).
To understand the structure of our course, the diagram presented in Figure 1.3 is important. The right side of the figure shows the main classes of economic and mathematical methods (classification according to the mathematical apparatus used), and the left side shows the most important areas of application of the methods.
It should also be remembered that each of the methods can be used to solve specific problems. Conversely, the same problem can be solved by different methods.
