Inflation / Deflation Simulation 1.0

Description
Description:

The modification 'Inflation/Deflation Simulation" for the pc-simulation game
'Democracy 3' (Positech Games) represents a new, functional and almost
realistic simulation for an inflation - and deflation process in a state.

By using this modification you will get a powerful tool to have the influence on
specific processes of your state. Also your power potential to guide your state
will be optimized.

Through an implemented simulation 'Money Supply' of the mod, it is possible
to make more (government) influence on the 'economic cycle' and to take
appropriate measures to optimize the control of the economy in a special
situation.

Existing simulation components, for example the 'Purchasing Power' or the
'Investment', complete the modification and increase the depth of the
simulation.

The player will be additionally required to avert a high inflation rate or a
deflation and to detect any resulting risks for the state in time to avoid
negative consequences for the economy and for the citizens/people of the
state.

The modification was designed in the language 'English'.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Elements:

Simulation components:

- Inflation/Deflation
- Money Supply
- Purchasing Rate
- Investment

Policies:

- Increase Money Supply
- Reduce Money Supply

Situations:

- Severe Inflation
- Deflation

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Manuals:

For more details I have created a manual in the languages 'English' and 'German' (19 pages), which includes many information about the function of every mod/simulation element.
You can find the manuals in the mod folder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Questions/Suggestions:

I have created this modification over a month, because the organisation and planning of structures and elements of the mod takes a lot of time.

This mod should be a realistic component to the official game and implements a inflation-/deflation simulation for the game.
If you have any questions or suggestions to optimize the mod, feel free to make a comment here. :)

I will try to implementated your suggestions as soon as possible, if the suggestion is realistic.


I am looking forward for your comments and I hope you will have lots of fun with my modification.

Shouldn't it rather be a "Print Money" or "Quantitate Easing" policy that you can implement, which then effects inflation and deflation? Which then decreases/increases currency strength and purchasing power, which then increases/decreases global trade and pushes up asset prices which is good for the wealthy and bad for the poor etc etc...

You should probably review your mod, I played as Australia and the first thing I noticed is that GDP was cut in half thanks to the out of whack modifiers you placed on the inflation tab.

or Increase Money Supply

inflation should reduce currency strenght

Increased money supply and inflation should effect the currency strength

I am just curious, would stagflation be able to be simulated? I just downlaoed the mod, so I actually haven't testes it out, but it would be cool if that were to be simulated.

Is their anyway you could make it so inflation/deflation actually effects the value of a currency? So let's say if your country has to much debt, you could then increase the money supply, causing inflation so the debt is de facto smaller, although if you do this to much it could screw up your credit rating.
I would also like if you could invest your money researves, rather than having them all sit on the side.
Finally, when debt reachs the point of becoming a crisis, you should then be able to default on it (massivily increasing interest rates, causing a credit crunch, making self employed, capitalists, and forgein relations go down.) :steamhappy:

This would be an interesting mod but players run governmental policy (fiscal), while this is related to monetary policy which is in the purview of Central Banks, government organisations but in effect independent. It should be more like policies used to tackle inflation/deflation

While I greatly like the both the idea of the mod and the execution, I'm baffled. Shouldn't large GDP actually derease inflation and demand a larger money mass to prevent deflation? It seems to me that the relationship between GDP and inflation has the wrong sign.

Of couse, alternatively it could be just me being a tetal ignoramus in economics.

I'm looking at adding a yield spread to simulate the Central Bank making it easier for the government to borrow money. Looking at data from the FED, it seems that between 1991 and 2014 the spread has varied between about .75% and 2.25%. The lowest point in 2007 and the highest in 2008. So it seems that government chokes off private investment the most in a bust, exacerbating the panic. This would be a very good thing to add to the simulation, as the top reason for having a Central Bank is to get easy money for the government.
