where Y, is gross national product, C, total consumption, and
S, total savings. As to equilibrium relations, a typical case is
the assumntion
(25)
where S, is saving and I, investment.
Speaking generally, if the primary form of a VR- CC- or
[D-system involves an accounting identity, an equivalent model
can be constructed by interpreting the identity as a behavioural
relation for one of the variables. For example, if the model
involves the identity (24) and the two behavioural relations

Turning to equilibrium relations, for example (25), the si-
tuation is fundamentally different. The model involves one
behavioural relation for each of the variables that are subject
to the equilibrium assumption, and the equilibrium is regarded
as the result of corresponding changes in an equilibrating va-
