Economic simulations, except the simplest, are not my forte. Draper Kauffman gets huge credit for the well-thought-of economics in ITL.
I anticipated as much and have been boiling my notes down to a dense form suitable for a few magazine-scale articles on each of the relevant subjects. There is no sense finalizing them until you've had your say on just what the published system will look like, but I'll be sure to fire them off somewhere accessible whenever that comes about!
