The purpose of this model intends to supply common methods of measuring a population in a formal structure or known delivery model (as is). 


WICKED - student in an experienced based project
Ideally, a new education offer where students can model their community needs based on the population grouped in age appropriate sectors. 

Various needs are currently aggregated by these groups and therefore mapping the current offer to the new offers might be done by creating the vector or variables on either side of the stock and flow link. 

The model can best show the way a zip code maps the specific values into a city, county, state or nation. 

  • How many people are located in Geographical Information Systems? 
  • How many people are located in a zip code? 

The insight maker tool offers a host of simulation methods or adding in the details about the population allows the modeler an opportunity to simulate proposed changes.  

If we assume the stock and flow diagram is staged by any high school student in advanced courses, community college, university student or professional development program. Ideally, credits and nominal wages are paid to increase the economic development of those with the greatest need. 

Supporting the community wellness to happiness can be measured based on

Using a simulation model with generic variables enables others who adopt the model to expand upon the generic for local preferences with the assumption that the definitions are not altered at the generic layer.  

The outputs from the models must be retained for ongoing use as a national input (international if agreements can be attained) for the social responsibility metric and gauge of equal balance within the education systems.  

Those with the greatest need can be identified by the population density by zip code as done in 1998 in Escutia legislation for California.  

Zip Codes are static-population density by various variables are dynamic by Nation, State, County, City and school. 

Modeling the formal to informal education model in an open system modeling tool. 

Policy decisions which enable state or national networks of schools that work are an option for transforming schools.
Rocket ship education reached a landmark decision to open 20 new charter schools over a 3 year period. 

  • In cases where a district spans more than one district or city we must adopt the county metric.

The upper diagram shows the principal factors that have an influence on the budget deficit and indicates what needs to be done to correct it. But this is not the full story. The diagram below shows that  cutting public expenditure reduces aggregate demand and  increases unemployment. The reduction of aggregate demand  reduces  economic activity which has the effect of reducing  tax revenue.  In addition, the state has to pay out funds as there is a need for more unemployment benefit payments.   The result of these austerity measures  is often the opposite of their intended purpose: they can increase rather than decrease the budget deficit.

There is plenty of empiric evidence to show that this has happened time and time again. For instance, a report from UNCTAD (United Nations Conference on Trade and Development) found that between 1990 and 2000 in all the  cases examined where cutbacks in public spending and tax increases were used, the fiscal situation did not only not improve but worsened. Despite such repeated evidence, unfortunately calls for  austerity measures continue to be heard.

Simulating Hyperinflation for 3650 days.

If private bond holdings are going down and the government is running a big deficit then the central bank has to monetize bonds equal to the deficit plus the decrease in private bond holdings.  We don't show the details of the central bank buying bonds here, just the net results.

The macroeconomic ruel: SPENDING = INCOME = OUTPUT, WHICH DRIVES EMPLOYMENT is presented here in a schematic form. Output can be taken to be equivalent to  GDP. In order to maintain output it is necessary for all the income earned to be spent. If this is not the case, then companies find they have excess unsold stock on their hands and will cut back on production. This, in time, will lead to an increase in unemployment as companies need fewer employees. The shortfall in spending can be made up by any of the three sectors that contribute to total output. However, in cases where  a country has a trade deficit and where the private sector is not spending or investing enough, the only option is for the government to Net Spend i.e. to spend more than it collected in taxes causing a fiscal deficit.
