Stock & Flow Simulator for Conflict Systems

Interactive visualization of how resources, grievances, and capacities accumulate or deplete over time

Understanding Stock & Flow Dynamics in Conflicts

Stock and flow models help us understand how different resources, capacities, and factors accumulate or deplete over time in conflict systems. These models are crucial for sustainable peacebuilding interventions.

Stocks (Accumulations)

These represent quantities that accumulate or deplete over time, such as grievances, trust, violence, reconciliation efforts, or resources. Stocks change gradually through inflows and outflows.

Flows (Rates of Change)

These represent the rates at which stocks increase (inflows) or decrease (outflows). Examples include rates of grievance formation, trust-building, violence escalation, or resource depletion.

Working with this simulator

Use the interactive tools below to explore how stocks and flows shape conflict trajectories. Adjust parameters, observe dynamics, and test intervention strategies to see their long-term effects.
