Description
The Budget Game is a visual simulation model of the development of Finland’s general government finances for the period 2016-2025. It allows the user to experiment with ways redistributing the burden of funding welfare services and benefits while avoiding excessive public debt. The computational model we developed is based on official population forecasts and historic data of service and benefit use in 5-year age groups.
The “My Financial Future” tool is a conceptual prototype of a visual tool for planning a private individual’s finances throughout life. The user can create and adjust inputs describing various life-events and choices, and view their effects on their bank balance at all stages of life.
