animated financial ecomomy model
Discussion
Has anyone ever seen such a thing?
Showing money flowing in a physical form (i.e. sand, water) starts at the top (banks) flows down into business, mortgages, through to customers and back again etc etc etc, could this be used to show how reccession effects the model (plug in sand/water supply).
I've always tried to picture something like this in my head but get lost in a sea of 'what if's'.

If you're looking for an animated model of the Chancellor's thought processes, then this is pretty much bang on.Showing money flowing in a physical form (i.e. sand, water) starts at the top (banks) flows down into business, mortgages, through to customers and back again etc etc etc, could this be used to show how reccession effects the model (plug in sand/water supply).

Two issues here:
Major economic modelling that is useful does not generally run on laptop size machines. Most that does is generally so trivial as to be meaningless except as a teaching aid.
Secondly its pretty much as complex as the weather to model realistically, so many simplier models just take one facet.
But there is a simple PC model here http://www.warwick.ac.uk/fac/soc/Economics/MMB/rr....
Some interesting commentary here http://www.ft.com/cms/s/0/0c3c18fe-fc03-11db-93a4-...
a model here http://www.downloadtopc.com/get/16/30519/Micro_Eco...
another reasonably priced pc runnable model here http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9B0...
and this is said to be one of the best game play economic models http://www.eveonline.com/
enjoy!
