Visualising stock flow consistent models as directed acyclic graphs

Economics 2014-09-17 v1

Abstract

We show how every stock-flow consistent model of the macroeconomy can be represented as a directed acyclic graph. The advantages of representing the model in this way include graphical clarity, causal inference, and model specification. We provide many examples implemented with a new software package.
