Notes

  1. 1.

    Figure 6.1 includes only one output. With more (m) outputs the production is described in the form of an S×m matrix Z where the elements \( z_{s}^{j} \) are production of output j in state s. Output prices are, correspondingly, in the form of an S×m matrix of output prices \( p_{s}^{j} \).
