✦ Synopsis
Non-procedural financial models can be developed in either a top-down or bottom-up fashion. Experiments with novice users of these packages indicate that, despite some encouragement, few individuals apply a naturally top-down technique. Knowledge of procedural languages such as COBOL further inhibits the use of the top-down approach.
