This part is devoted to simulation experiments based on the simulation model developed in part I from the value-theoretic reconstruction of the main parts of Marx’s critique of Political Economy. After introducing the main parameters and the range of their variation (Section 1), a singular run as well as a sensitivity analysis for the chosen standard configuration (‘moderation regime’) is presented in Section 2. This is accomplished by configurations depicting characteristics of the capitalist development emphasized by Marx, i.e. the social conflict regime (Section 3) and the crisis regime (Section 4). Finally, an assessment of the simulation results (Section 4 ) is given, and conclusions as well as research requirements are discussed (Section 5).

Comment from our editors:

This paper allows for looking at the effects of changes in central Marxian categories, based on a reconstruction of Marxian value theory in a prior paper (https://www.exploring-economics.org/en/discover/a-value-theoretic-approach-to-economic-dynamics/)

Banking 101 is a series of 6 short videos that ask the following questions: How do banks work and how is money created? Is reveals common misunderstandings of money creation and the role of banks. Furthermore, the videos show how models taught in many introductory classes to economics (Econ 101) do not reflect those processes: Part 1) “Misconceptions around Banking” questions common comprehensions of how banks work (savings = investments). Part 2) “What's wrong with the money multiplier” states that the model of the money multiplies is inaccurate. Part 3) “How is money really made by banks” explains the process of money creation, loans and inter-bank settlement. Part 4) “How much money banks create?” asks what limits the money creation by banks and presents the difference between reserve ratio, liquidity ration, equity and refers to the inter-bank market. Part 5) Explores the question if banks create money or just credit and especially refers to credit risks. Part 6) Explains how money gets destroyed when loans are paid back. Note: The videos refer to the UK monetary and banking system, some explanations don't apply to other banking systems, e.g. the reserve ratio. 2012 Level: beginner How is money really made by banks? - Banking 101 (Part 3 of 6)   Positive Money The last 15 years have seen extensive research into ecosystem service valuation (ESV), spurred by the Millenium Ecosystem Assessment in 2005 (Baveye, Baveye & Gowdy, 2016). Ecosystem services are defined as “the benefits people obtain from ecosystems” (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, p.V). For example, ecosystems provide the service of sequestering carbon which helps regulate the climate. Valuation means giving ecosystems or their services a monetary price, for example researchers have estimated that the carbon sequestration services of the Mediterranean Sea is between 100 and 1500 million euros per year. The idea of ESV was a response to the overuse of natural resources and degradation of ecosystems, allegedly due to their undervaluation and exclusion from the monetary economy. ESV can be used (1) for policy decision-making, for example allocating funding to a reforestation project (2) for setting payments to people who increase ecosystem services, for example a farmer increasing the organic carbon content of their soil, and (3) for determining fees for people who degrade ecosystem services, for example a company that causes deforestation. 2021 Level: beginner A Pluralist Perspective on Ecosystem Service Valuation Introduction Maya Exploring Economics Anders als der Mainstream der Ökonomie nimmt die Feministische Ökonomik das Ganze des Wirtschaftens in den Blick: die ein Drittel der bezahlten und die zwei Drittel der unbezahlten Arbeiten, die das Fundament unserer Wirtschaft bilden. 2024 Level: beginner Feministische Ökonomie und Bildung Daniela Gottschlich AG kritische ökonomische Bildung This paper is a product of an online workshop held in Nigeria on the topic Unemployment: Policy Review and Recommendations.
