Dynamics, limitations and possibilities of the modern credit-based banking system
- We are developing a series of ledger based models exploring banking, credit creation, debt demand and economic growth.
- Inspired by the ‘Money View’ of Perry Mehrling, and worked in collaboration with researchers at the Global Climate Forum, Freie University and Institute of Advanced Sustainability Studies.
- Our primary methodology for this project is individual-based computational models.
- Our goal is to link this to the economic development model to describe how credit can drive economic growth.
