The aim of this paper is twofold. First, it shows how a standard stock-flow consistent model (SFCM) can be modified to embed some fundamental insights from Graziani's theory of the monetary circuit (TMC). Second, it aims to address some common misconceptions about the TMC. More precisely, it is...

The main purpose of this paper is to show how a simple (medium-scale) empirical stock–flow consistent dynamic model can be developed from scratch. Eurostat data and conventional statistical packages (notably EViews, Excel and R) are used. On the theoretical side, the work builds upon the...
