Consumption, Investment and Jobs – how the UK economy ticks
4see model and introduction to poster from Simon Roberts on Vimeo.
The 4see model is a framework to explore the future using past data. Currently, a 4see model of the UK economy is being developed. The historical data for this model has been put together in an A0-sized poster with the title “consumption, investment and jobs – how the UK economy ticks”. (To receive a copy of the poster, contact simon.roberts@arup.com) This is a recording of a presentation by Simon Roberts to colleagues in Arup given on 22nd February 2011 to introduce the poster and the part it plays in the overall 4see project.

4see
An economy-wide systemic approach which draws insights from historical socio-economic-energy trends to develop future scenarios. A 4see model can be used to test whether future scenarios are physically consistent, since if they are not physically viable, they cannot be economically possible.
