Model European Council!



As EU Economics (BA) course nears the end, we are engaged in the model European Council (an official meeting of the Member States). The topic was whether the EU shall continue sanctions against the Russian Federation given the allegations made by the United Kingdom in relation to the Skripal poisoning case.

The Italian delegation was late to the meeting (were they acting?), and the Secretariat holds the name card anxiously (left). The UK delegation is making their speech (centre) while someone whispered 'Brexit' (right).



On the second day, the delegates were negotiating each other to find compromises. Today, friends in the real life can be enemies, representing different countries... One delegate asked 'is it even legal to do such a thing?' responding to one of the proposals. Another replied, 'well, it's politics...'

Not only System Dynamics, but also painting - Mr Marius Kuslys

So, what was your thesis about? Marius Kušlys:  My thesis aimed to model Lithuanian emigration with econometrics and System Dynamics methodology. Econometrics allowed to determine the statistical relations between emigration and various economic variables. But these relations are one-sided, while emigration has complex dynamic structure.

These two research methods can complement each other, because System dynamics model can explain some relations, which is not possible to model with econometrics. For example, currently, there is no statistically significant relationship between relative average wage (r...
