Modeling challenge
Professor Glen Atkinson suggests that translating a well-known case study by John R. Commons of the evolution of the shoemaking industry from 1648 to 1895 into a system dynamics model will demonstrate to "institutional economists that rich historical and cultural context does not have to be sacrificed to gain the benefits of a model."
