Included is a complete documentation of the model's equations, variables and coefficients. The documentation is designed to allow the reader to cross-reference the equation system presented in this paper in ordinary algebra, with the computer implementation of the model in the TABLO language presented in CoPS/IMPACT Preliminary Working Paper No. OP-82.
