Spatial market equilibrium problems as network models (Q1072912)

A series of equilibrium models for the agroindustrial sector is presented. The use of these models for government policy decisions is shown. In all cases, there is an inherent network structure, varying from a simple network flow problem to networks which are multiproduct, generalized and with additional constraints. We show solution techniques used to handle the problems, and discuss in each case the advantages of specialized network algorithms.
