SEMAINE D'ÉTUDE SUR LE ROLE DE L’ANALYSE ECONOMETRIQUE ETc. 1009 tion. For every branch, the fraction of all decisions made at the single first-order node is 0.9. Each 2nd-order node makes 0.1 of all decisions on any branch on which it is located. Each 3rd-order and 4th-order node makes zero fraction of all deci- sions. In the situation represented by Q, 0.4 of all decision- making authority resides at the top; 0.2 of all decision-making authority along any branch resides in the 2nd order node of that branch; o.1 of all decision-making authority along any branch resides in the 3rd-order node of that branch; and 0.3 of all decision-making authority along any branch resides in the 4th-order node of that branch. At the bottom of table 1, row Z represents the case where all decisions for any branch are made at the 4th-order node of that branch, none being made at any node of any other order. Note that, because the flow of participation and exercise of influence can only proceed upward, no node can influence decisions at any other node of the same or higher order. Given our assumptions and this framework we compute total participation potential, P, of all individuals over all de- cisions for each of the situations of table 1. By definition, in n our normalized cases. P=27;-.V, where 7, is the fraction of all i=1 decisions to be made at node ¢, this fraction being the same for all nodes of the same order as 7 (9). The values for P are re- (*) If there are s spatial patterns of decision-making authority to be considered, each corresponding to a degree of spatial decentralization, then for our set of assumptions the participation potential corresponding to each degree is given by the single row vector [P.] I 1 —I s [P,] = 6-41 | EL fs ] 7=1) ! re, [Fou fe=1,..
