CfESI has yet to initiate any research itself, since funds are needed to do that. However there is a substantial amount of research being done by CfESI-related individuals.
David Bennett has developed an online database, currently called Econodata, for storing and analyzing economic data–and especially data on credit. The data storage structure is complete, and there is now a need to populate this database. One of the first tasks of CfESI, once sufficient funds have been raised, will be to employ a research assistant to populate this database. We will also locate and pay for a graphics engine that is more flexible than the freeware one currently employed on the site.
Steve Keen has written a second edition of Debunking Economics, which will be published in October by Zed Books. The book will be launched at the London School of Economics on October 4th.
Steve Keen has received a $128,000 grant from the Institute for New Economic Thinking, which was established by a grant from George Soros to help develop new approaches to economics. The grant is to develop a software package for dynamic modeling of monetary macroeconomics, using the approach Steve developed to model the Circuitist analysis of endogenous money creation. The program, to be called Minsky, is being written by Dr Russell Standish, ex-Head of the High Performance Computing unit at the University of New South Wales and a co-author with Steve on a number of academic papers.
Steve Keen has published several academic papers modeling the financial crisis using what has been dubbed “Monetary Circuit Theory”. The following papers have been published since the formation of CfESI:

Professor Keen, is there going to be a Mac OS version for QED?
Thank you.

Not of QED Nelson–that was developed by an independent programmer. But Minsky is Open Source, so when we release the first version (probably in January), it will run on Linux, Mac and PC.
