==================== Scenarios GL06INSOUT ==================== The following scenarios are available by default for the GL06INSOUT model, corresponding to the experiments in Chapter 10 (2nd ed.) / Chapter 7 (1st ed.) of Godley & Lavoie (2006). The R ``sfcr`` reference names are given in parentheses. Baseline ======== The baseline scenario has the following exogenous values: - Real government spending :math:`g = 25` - Bill rate :math:`r_b = 0.023` - Bond yield :math:`r_{bl} = 0.027` All shocks fire at the scenario trigger period (default: period 50). Scenario 1: Higher Target Inventory Ratio (INSOUT1) ===================================================== An increase in the target inventory-to-sales ratio baseline from :math:`\sigma_0 = 0.3612` to :math:`\sigma_0 = 0.4`. Firms desire to hold a larger buffer of inventories relative to expected sales, which raises inventory investment and loan demand. Scenario 2: Higher Government Spending (INSOUT2) ================================================== An increase in real government spending from :math:`g = 25` to :math:`g = 30`. This is the standard Keynesian fiscal expansion experiment, raising output, income, and government debt. Scenario 3: Higher Reserve Requirements (INSOUT3) =================================================== An increase in compulsory reserve ratios from :math:`\rho_1 = \rho_2 = 0.1` to :math:`\rho_1 = \rho_2 = 0.2`. Higher reserve requirements tie up more bank funds in non-interest-bearing reserves, reducing the bank's bill holdings and potentially triggering advances from the central bank. Scenario 4: Wider Bank Liquidity Corridor (INSOUT4) ===================================================== An increase in the acceptable bank liquidity ratio bounds from :math:`bot = 0.02, top = 0.06` to :math:`bot = 0.20, top = 0.24`. The wider corridor raises the bank's target bill-to-deposit ratio, leading to higher bill holdings and reduced need for central bank advances. Scenario 5: Lower Consumption Propensity (INSOUT5) ==================================================== A decrease in the propensity to consume out of income from :math:`\alpha_1 = 0.95` to :math:`\alpha_1 = 0.80`. This paradox-of-thrift experiment reduces consumption on impact but leads to wealth accumulation that partially offsets the initial decline. Scenario 6: Exogenous Increase in Inflation via Wage Target (INSOUT6) ====================================================================== An increase in the real wage target constant from :math:`\Omega_0 = -0.32549` to :math:`\Omega_0 = -0.2`. Workers demand a higher real wage, triggering a wage-price spiral that generates persistent inflation until the economy reaches a new steady state. Scenario 7: Combined Wage Push and Interest Rate Increase (INSOUT7) ==================================================================== A simultaneous increase in the real wage target (same as Scenario 6) and an increase in interest rates (:math:`r_b = 0.023 \to 0.03`, :math:`r_{bl} = 0.027 \to 0.039`). This stagflation experiment shows the interaction between cost-push inflation and contractionary monetary policy.
