Here are two questions on the US economy. Perhaps someone
could bring me up to date:
1) Has a system dynamics model of the US economy been
published which includes all the model equations?
{I know there was a lot of effort put into this model in the late
1970s; that Prof. Forrester stated in 1979 that the high leverage
policy was to increase a tax on energy(I think it was the oil tax);
and that Prof. Sterman did a lot of work in the early 1980s on the
sector of the model that produced the long wave.}
2) If the model exists, what is the present high leverage policy?
