Footnotes

A subscript of zero (o) indicates a constant. D is the differential operation d/dt, e is the exponential operators and log is the logarithmic (to base e) operator. A variable with a hat (^) above it indicates the desired value of the variable. All parameter values are positive. [1]

Inline Equation is generated recursively with a Itarting valul of r9. [2]

When public debt is ondogenous, one of the reaction functions is included as a mechanism of debt control. [3]

J is zero for the first 2 years of a aimulation and then gradually increases to unity over the 4 years following that. [4]
