Un modèle macroéconométrique est constitué de deux sortes d'équations : les équations de comportement et les équations comptables. Les équations de comportement décrivent une causalité issue de la théorie économique, comme entre le revenu ou la richesse et la consommation, ou bien des réalités institutionnelles, comme entre cotisations sociales et masse salariale.

CONT

Behavioural epigenesis(ethogenesis) is linked to the way neuronal connections are organised(theory of selective stabilization). The development of the neuronal networks is a characteristic process :"the phase of synaptic redundancy followed by a phase of regression in the axonal and dendritic branches is a critical period of development... The redundancy is temporary. Active nerve endings are eliminated all the while the nervous system itself is expanding.
