Simulation findings, structural analysis, and research notes.
Most economists predict a number. The world is a distribution. Every long-horizon forecast is one path through a wider distribution. The variance is the signal.
The world's happiest country has had sub-replacement fertility for 45 consecutive years. The 2035 baseline says it keeps falling. No obvious lever to pull.
Germany is doing almost everything right and still growing at half the rate consensus projects. 5,000 Monte Carlo paths land at +7% GDP per capita over the decade.
A flight simulator for economic policy. Probabilistic, reproducible, EU-built. 30+ indicators, 100+ coupling rules, 10,000 trajectories per scenario.
Portugal and Spain end 2040 on the same per-capita income, in the same regime, having paid for it with opposite structural crises. Fertility, housing, debt.
GDP grows 5% in a decade. Rents grow 37%. The teacher's annual rent reaches 117% of annual salary. A country statistic becomes a labour-market failure.
Roll a die once, you get a number. Roll it 10,000 times, you get a distribution. That distribution tells you more than any single forecast.
Fertility drops below 1.0. Rent takes 48% of income. Unemployment drops 40%. Every tailwind offset by an equally powerful headwind. 8% growth in a decade.
Fertility at 1.12. Net migration drops to zero. Population 65+ hits 26.7%. A demographic time bomb hiding inside the EU's best growth story.
Three structural traps fire at once: Tax Wedge at 45.2%, debt crossing 120% of GDP, and 26.8% aged 65+. 20 negative rules vs 13 positive.
Your salary nearly doubles to $81,071. But inflation eats a third of the gains. A median house costs $585,161. Full personal projection inside.
Stress-testing the OECD's Hormuz scenario. 72% of simulated futures show structural stress. GDP per capita drops 4.7%, comparable to 2008.
Romania grows 52%. Greece contracts 17%. 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations show a GDP crossover is on the table. But Greece's P90 upside tells a different story.
The IMF says Greece is on track: debt to 110%, growth at 1.8%. We ran 2,000 Monte Carlo simulations through 2035. The P50 median for debt lands at 168%.
