Title: CONTINUOUS LINEAR MODEL OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE
Abstract: The continuous linear model of international trade is built. It is based on the theory of probability processes – namely Markov chains. The model allows for the analysis of the continuous fluxes of goods and funds between trade partners, provided that the rules of the trade agreement are defined. Therefore, the model can improve the process of planning trade relations and also helps to control their effective implementation. The results of the model coincide with the results of the discrete model at the moments of time proportional to the step of the discrete model.
