since at any time period t,firmk uses the current estimate " k .t/ in computing p k .t/
by (5.117), however it uses delayed actual price data, and therefore the computed
discrepancy p k is based on continuously distributed lagged values of P lD1 " l .
Equation (5.126) constitutes a system of linear Volterra-type integro-differential
equations. In order to compute the eigenvalues we seek the solution of the corre-
sponding homogenous equations in the exponential form " k .t/ D
