17-year-old IISL Fellow's research on the #Evolution of the #PoliticalEconomy uses #SystemDynamics to explore how #VarietiesOfCapitalism perform against each other under #LimitsToGrowth. Nonlinear 11th order system of differential equations causes overshoot, limit cycles & chaos.
Congratulations to the inaugural 2026-2027 Lafayette Fellows (which includes an @IISLorg Fellow). Wishing all a successful year and careers in advancing US-France relations.
Thanks to @villa_albertine & @franceintheus for creating this important leadership development program.
Congratulations to @Stanford for being ranked the world's #2 university in the 2027 @worlduniranking.
@IISLorg Fellow just graduated from Stanford with double Distinction & triple Honors, writing a 1,200-page trilogy of theses on "The Evolution of the Global Political Economy".
Congratulations to @MIT for being ranked the world's top university for the 15th consecutive year in the 2027 @worlduniranking.
@iislorg research on 'The Evolution of Economic Ecosystems' began at MIT 25 years ago, using #SystemDynamics, which was invented at MIT 70 years ago.
Congratulations to IISL's youngest Fellow, who graduated today from @Stanford with double Distinction & triple Honors in Economics, Political Science & Sustainability, writing a 1,200-page trilogy of theses on "The Evolution of the Global Political Economy" using #SystemDynamics.
Congratulations to @MIT for being ranked the world's top university for the 14th consecutive year in the 2026 @worlduniranking.

IISL's annual 'Strategic Thought Leadership' Award goes to @MIT Professor & @NobelPrize winner @DAcemogluMIT for his empirically-grounded formal mathematical models of the evolution of the global political economy - the IISL's core mission - which he has called "The Holy Grail".
Congratulations to @MIT for being ranked #1 in the world for the 13th consecutive year in the 2025 @worlduniranking.
IISL's research on 'The Evolution of Economic Ecosystems' began at MIT nearly 25 years ago, using #SystemDynamics, which was invented at MIT nearly 70 years ago.
The IISL's 'Evolution of Economic Ecosystems' research long-predicted that slowing economic growth in the 21st century would cause #Democracy to decline in Liberal Market Economies compared to Coordinated Market Economies.
IISL's 'Meta-Index of Democracy Indices' confirms this:
IISL's annual 'Strategic Thought Leadership' Award goes to Professor Jorgen Randers for his intellectual courage and innovative research in advancing heterodox economics via #SystemDynamics and his tireless advocacy of #Sustainability dating back 50+ years to the #LimitsToGrowth.
IISL's youngest Fellow and @stanford sophomore's 'Dynamic Theory of the Evolution of Capital Structure':
Which is better, debt or equity financing? It depends on the growth rate of the industry. Leverage is helpful in accelerating markets, but harmful in decelerating markets.
Implication: higher-leverage liberal market economy firms (e.g. in the US & UK) will struggle in the 'super-secular stagnation' of the 21st century, while lower-leverage coordinated market economy firms (e.g. in Japan & Germany) will thrive.
Congratulations to the teenage @Stanford @SIEPR & IISL Fellow, who was only 15 when he made this short video of IISL's research on 'The Evolution of Economic Ecosystems' (aka #RedBlue), which now has over 10,000 views.

50+ years ago, the ground-breaking #SystemDynamics #LimitsToGrowth research of @MIT & @ClubOfRome showed that in the 'Status Quo' scenario, 'Industrial Output' would peak mid-21st century.
@TheEconomist implied they were wrong as it has not yet happened.

Teenage @Stanford IISL Fellow mathematically proved that offering $100 is a Subgame Perfect Nash Equilibrium of his 'Ultimate Ultimatum Game' (i.e. full altruism is rational under a wide range of discount factors).
Almost 1/3 of voters came to this counterintuitive conclusion.
Teenage @Stanford IISL Fellow is conducting independent research on his 'Ultimate Ultimatum Game' which explores the trade-offs between selfishness & altruism, competition & cooperation, efficiency & equ(al)ity.

You are given a $100 fund & must propose a split with a stranger. If they accept, you both get the split. If they reject, you both get $0.
The roles are then reversed & the new fund to split = previous fund + previously accepted offer.
Repeat infinitely.
What is your proposal?
7%$1 to stranger in round 1
62%$50 to stranger, round 1
31%$100 to stranger, round 1

19-year-old IISL Fellow presented his #SystemDynamics research today at the #SVOC #VarietiesOfCapitalism conference in Budapest, explaining why Liberal Market Economies outperformed Coordinated MEs from 1800-1970 and why this has reversed and will continue in the 21st century.
