A research project to develop a stock-flow-consistent (SFC) model of the Icelandic economy has now been completed. With this model it´s possible to capture the destabilising role of international credit in small economies like Iceland and provide understanding for the sudden stop of capital flows that followed.
By replicating the Icelandic crisis where banks´ balance sheets reached extreme levels in terms of assets and debt levels, both domestic and external assets and debt rose accordingly, the economic effects of financial expansion can be analysed. The project also included a comparison between the financial crisis in Iceland and Ireland. One application of a model of this kind is to examine the effects from the interest rate differential between domestic and foreign denominated loans. What is the impact on domestic monetary policy, and how is the exchange rate likely to respond. The results of the study are presented in the following papers:
