Abstract

This article examines a model for (1) coordinating activities in the development process and (2) inter-temporally allocating resources required by the process. Network analysis (PERT) and recursive programming are integrated in the model, which is applied to data for a district in India. The findings provide insights into the sporadic nature of economic development and differential marginal value productivities of limiting resources over time. The integrated planning technique, resulting from the methodological study, appears to be especially useful for spotting potential bottlenecks sufficiently early to initiate action for eliminating them, thereby facilitating the development process.
