CITBA Training Centre The Stock Flow Consistent Modelling (SFCM)

The Stock Flow Consistent Modelling (SFCM)

At CITBA, we provide training on Stock Flow Consistent Modelling (SFCM) for individuals and organizations interested in learning and advocating for the use of SFCM in economic analysis. SFC modelling is a method of economic modelling that places significant emphasis on ensuring the consistency between the stocks and flows of economic variables such as money and goods. This approach enables a more accurate understanding and prediction of economic behavior, making it a valuable tool for economists and analysts alike.

SFC modelling training could include organizing workshops and seminars on the topic, as well as providing access to educational materials such as tutorials, articles, and software tools. The SFCM group of experts would serve as a community for individuals to share their knowledge and experience with SFC modelling, and to collaborate on research projects.

SFC Experts

Dr Adam Kaczynski, CSIRO

Dr. Adam Kaczynski graduated in 1991 from Gdansk University of Technology (Poland) with a degree in Electronic Engineering. Since then, he has mainly worked as an embedded software engineer. Currently, Adam is employed at CSIRO, Space and Astronomy, where he works on system control projects related to Australian radio telescopes.Following the Global Financial Crisis (GFC), Adam developed an interest in heterodox economics, particularly in building dynamic macroeconomic models using empirical scientific methodology. He is also passionate about the Labour Theory of Value and the critique of neoclassical economics. Adam completed his PhD in 2021 under the supervision of Dr. James Juniper and has submitted several papers to various heterodox conferences, mainly in collaboration with Dr. Juniper
