The present book pursues the scientific goal of developing an awareness of system-dynamic models. Considering the time dimension in economic questions is one of the essential deficits that can primarily be observed when neoclassical economic theories are applied. Because of this, the present work attempts to contribute to the field of system dynamics and the temporal modeling of economic questions.
