  Planned economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pre-modern economies (those existing before the industrial revolution) are more difficult to analyze by today's standards, but a number of them, particularly those of hydraulic empires, may be seen as having been centrally planned as well.
There is a Trotskyist theory of the permanent arms economy, put forward by Michael Kidron, which leads on from the contention that war and accompanying industrialisation is a continuing feature of capitalist states and that central planning and other features of the war economy are ever present.
A palace economy may be considered as a subsistence economy augmented with elements of command economy.

 Informal economy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In economics, the term informal economy refers to the general market income category (or sector) wherin certain types of income and the means of their generation are “unregulated by the institutions of society, in a legal and social environment in which similar activities are regulated.” (Portes et al.)
Although the informal economy is often associated with developing countries —where up to 60% of the labor force works, all economic systems contain an informal economy in some proportion.
Governments have tried to regulate (formalize) aspects of their economies for as long as surplus wealth has existed which is at least as early as Sumer.

 Fraunhofer ISI - Presseinformation (en) - On the Way to a Closed-Cycle Economy
At least, 10 percent of the roughly 1,400 firms in the survey think that closed product cycles are a must, nearly half of the firms judge the approach to be "rather positive".
Only 1 percent of the enterprises consider the closed-cycle economy to be a misinvestment.
Apart from the conventional investments into environmental protection, closing of material and use cycles is considered a central approach to sustainable economics.

 Brian Easton » OPEN AND CLOSED: Is the US Economy A Good Model for New Zealand?
A closed economy is one which has no significant external sector, and where international trade and capital flows do not have a crucial role in the economy’s performance.
The world is a closed economy, and the US economy is almost one (being so large that there are strong feedbacks as its external sector impacts on the rest of the world).
In addition to the influences that affect a closed economy, a small open multi-sectoral economy such as New Zealand is continually impacted by external shocks.

 Is China a "Closed" Economy?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)

 Russia: Rise of a Dual Economy by Pekka Sutela
Ordinary market economies and transition economies usually have a M2 (the wide money stock, consisting of cash and deposits) to GDP ratio of 60 percent or higher, depending on characteristics of the financial system.
An economy with several exchange systems is unstable and difficult to regulate by economic policies; with little money in use the possibilities of generating savings to be channeled into investment finance are modest at best.
First, Russia should recognize that as a European economy it is medium-size at most, with a $370 billion GDP in 1998—about 2.5 times that of Finland—and a weight in the world economy that is smaller than, for instance, Sweden’s.

 Closed Economy Analysis
And indeed, when analyzing complex problems it is still sometimes useful to begin the thought process under an assumption that the economy is closed and then extend the analysis to encompass the interrelationships between that economy and the rest of the world.
Closed economy analysis is also useful in thinking about how a hypothetical "world monetary authority" should behave.
Despite these caveats, it makes little sense to analyze macroeconomic issues in the typical country under the assumption that its economy is closed to trade and, especially, to capital movements with respect to the rest of the world.

 The Role of Consumption Substitutability in the International Transmission of Shocks - Federal Reserve Bank of New York   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
This paper develops a general framework to analyze the welfare consequences of monetary and fiscal shocks in an open economy, focusing on the role of the degree of substitutability between goods produced in different countries.
We find that an expansionary shock that would be beneficial in a closed economy can have an adverse "beggar-thyself" effect in the country where it takes place, or an adverse "beggar-thy-neighbor" effect on its neighbor.
In addition, a closed economy can be an imperfect approximation of a large open economy when there is little substitutability between goods produced in different countries.

 NCPA - Study #273: Aging, the World Economy and the Coming Generational Storm
In the closed economy baseline, interest rates increase the most in Europe and the least in the United States.
The baseline path of the open economy, therefore, in contrast to the respective closed economy cases, allows for more capital accumulation for Europe and less for the United States.
Roughly the reverse happens in Europe, where the long-run real wage is about 3 percent higher than in the closed economy model, reflecting the relatively smaller reduction in the capital stock thanks to the import of capital from the United States (see Table V).

 Open the closed policy
The point is that the management of capital flows and their impact have to be now dealt with in a completely different context involving the rates of return in different markets, movements in currency, credit, trade, capital flows, inflation rate, exchange rate, refinancing and transactions in foreign exchange.
At the same time, in an open economy, fiscal policy, which has been the driving force behind the management of a closed economic activity, will tend to be less effective now.
In an open economy, an increase in domestic demand has a smaller effect on output than in a closed economy, as well as an adverse effect on the trade opens the economy -  the smaller the effect on output, larger is the adverse effect on the trade balance.

 Leontief Economic Model
The mathematics model for the economy of a country or a region is based on the various sectors of this economy.
Assume that each industry in the economy has two types of demands: an external demand (from outside the system) and an internal demand (demand placed on one industry by another in the same system), the Leontief model is a system of linear equations.
The Leontief model was invented in the 30's by Wassily Leontief who developed an economic model of the United States economy by dividing it into 500 economic sectors.

We show that consumption smoothing, which comes with the opening of the capital market, raises the degree of strategic complementarity among monopolistic competitive suppliers, thus rendering prices more sticky and magnifying output responses to nominal GDP shocks.
