Proposal: A New Economic Model (can simulate global financial crisis)

[Alexander Seil]

Well, true, I guess we won't see a lot of market crashes in consumables, but, as you point out, there may be arms industry crashes, and plenty of possibities for similar crashes in goods demanded as inputs by factories, or for construction, so when government procurement dries up, the industry crashes. Remember that the reason none of this possible in Vicky 1 was because you didn't actually need any demand at all in the World Market to sell your stuff! Assuming that now every good has to have someone to purchase it (I hope) to be actually hold on WM, this should work to create bubbles.

Of course if you can still sell stuff to the Martians, then we've got bigger problems with the trade model than absence of bubbles.

You're definitely right about this. If the fact that your exports are actually being used by some POPs in the game, and that prices of goods are determined by true supply and demand of POPs, this would bring a whole new dimension to the game.

So the next time you build another factory, you actually have to think about how many POPs will buy the goods.

To the OP. I suggest you state your ideas in a way that could be used by the guys doing the programming. Try to pick up the ideas that you think are the most important and feasible, justify it, and explain (in detail) how it would fit in the current model of Victoria. Try making a diagram (maybe in a M$ Word document) to better clarify your proposition and if you have some programming skill write some pseudo code to help them understand what you are trying to say. Then submit it to them. I guess that would increase the probability of your interesting ideas to be implemented. Or this will be just another thread with nice ideas that will be forgotten.

Yes I myself have built many financial models using Visual Basics in my job.

I'll try to come up with something, but it'll take time
