The System Dynamics National Model is a large computer simulation model of a typical industrialized economy, with its parameters adjusted to reflect the size and character of the United States. The model's purpose is twofold: understanding the major difficulties of the aggregate economy such as inflation, business cycles, and slowing productivity growth; and to facilitate the evaluation of policies to influence those behaviors. In the existing publications on results from the National Model, the structure of the model is described in a page or two, doing no more than supplying a flavor for the scope of the model. This paper goes to the next stage in describing the content and structure of the model for those readers with some previous exposure to the results of the National Model research. The discussion starts with the overall architecture, then goes through the major connections among the sectors of the model, and concludes with one example of more detailed structure: the interrelations among selected decisions in the corporate sector of the model.
