Models
- Link to Vissim version 3.0 (I use Vissim for my dynamic simulations in teaching, and Mathcad for my mathematical modelling). Vissim 3.0 is an earlier version of the current release, provided to university lecturers who use Vissim in their teaching and freely distributable to students. Those interested in commercial use of the current version (4.5 as of 2004) should go to the Vissim home page. You can also download a free viewer to check out files that use features in the newer version.
- Lorenz vissim model (the classic “butterfly of chaos”)
- Goodwin vissim model
- Minsky private sector model (stable initial conditions)
- Minsky private sector model (unstable initial conditions)
- Minsky mixed economy model (stable regardless of initial conditions)
- Minsky mixed economy model (with compound blocks)
- Generalised exponential function
Discussion (11) ¬
Sir,
Any lecturing/speaking/book launch trips in Asia for 2012? Do you post your schedule in advance on the blog?
Yes Shane,
It’s not confirmed as yet, but there are plans for a lecture tour of India in late March–starting about March 22. I will definitely post details if it comes to pass.
Sir,
Smartcomics.com – an idea for yr books message.
Sir, sorry http://www.smartercomics.com
Question: If I did a Masters programme, then a PhD in Economics at Western Sydney, what job in Economics could I expect? Would the BIS or WTO or IMF or the Australian Government employ me or would I be only a “wise” unemployed economist making a living writing blogs for a “fringe” readership base,
Please email response to birojek@hotmail.com
Thanks
Sir,
it seems impossible to download most of your lectures – in fact everything except the behavioural finance ones.
What im i doing wrong?
Ah! It looks like the subscription site for Debunking Economics is getting in the way.
I will be making major changes to that shortly. So please wait–if I had any assistants I could get this done faster, but I don’t so I have to get more pressing tasks completed first.
