Properties of transformation

Quasi-production system

Innovative

At least one production plan, innovative in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\), is realized in period \(t^{\prime}\)

Quasi-production system

Imitative

All production plan feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\), which means that there is no innovation in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\)

Quasi-production system

Cumulative

(1) All production plans feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\), which means that there is no innovation in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\), (2) every producer can realize in period \(t^{\prime}\) every his production plan feasible to realization in period \(t\), (3) the economic position of every producer in period \(t^{\prime}\) is not worse than in it was period \(t\)

Quasi-consumption system

Imitative

(1) There is no innovation on the market, (2) all consumption plans feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\)

Quasi-consumption system

Cumulative

(1) There is no innovation on the market, (2) all consumption plans feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\), (3) every consumer can realize in period \(t^{\prime}\) every his consumption plan feasible to realization in period \(t\), (4) the economic position of every consumer in period \(t^{\prime}\) is not worse than it was in period \(t\)

Economy

Innovative

At least one production plan, innovative in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\), is realized in period \(t^{\prime}\)

Economy

Imitative

Every agent’s plan feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\), which means that there is no innovation in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\)

Economy

Cumulative

(1) Every agent’s plan feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\), which means that there is no innovation in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\), (2) every agent can realize in period \(t^{\prime}\) every his plan of action feasible to realization in period \(t\), (3) the economic position of every agent in period \(t^{\prime}\) is not worse than it was in period \(t\)

Economy

Regressive

(1) Every agents’ plan feasible to realization in period \(t^{\prime}\) were feasible to realization in period \(t\), which means that there is no innovation in period \(t^{\prime}\) with regard to period \(t\), (2) at least one agent cannot realize in period \(t^{\prime}\) one of his plan of action feasible to realization in period \(t\) or the economic position of at least one agent in period \(t^{\prime}\) is worse than it was in period \(t\)
