Andrew Clark – “Complex Systems Modeling of Community Currencies” – PhD Seminar

Abstract:

We present a complex dynamical systems subpopulation model for the construction and validation of Grassroots Economics Foundation’s Community Inclusion Currency. In our paper we introduce the modern application of community currencies, frame our model economically, and describe a formalized topological model of a community currency implementation. We then describe the simulation, its results, and prescribe next steps in applying this model to operational decision making.
