No modelling methodology other than system dynamics could endogenously generate projections (red & blue) given the known behaviour from -15 yrs to now.
+20 +25 yr Typical “do nothing” scenario (result of an econometric projection?) Possible future from SD Model based on a definite intervention strategy: investment in capability. (Short term sacrifice for longer- term gain.) Possible future from SD model based on no investment in
longer term disaster.)
