	Stocks and flows in economics - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics, the distinction is made between stocks and flows (or stock variables and flow variables).
		Stocks include the total amount of equity holdings, the total amount of capital goods existing, the total value of real estate, etc., all existing at a specific time.
		Flows include the total amount of consumer spending, the total amount of equities sold per day, interest payments on loans outstanding, etc., all happening over time.

		One of the fundamental skills a system dynamics modeler must learn is how to identify the stocks and flows in the system experiencing the problem that he or she is trying to model.
		Stocks possess four characteristics that are crucial in determining the dynamic behavior of systems.
		In this example, it is clear that the stock reaches each of its peaks and troughs after the flow reaches each of its corresponding peaks and troughs, during each repetition of the cycle.

	AusStats : Chapter 7: Flows, stocks and accounting rules
		Flows refer to actions and to the effects of events that take place within a given period of time, while stocks refer to positions at a given point in time.
		Stocks, which represent the value of the stock of assets and liabilities at the beginning and end of the accounting period, appear in the balance sheet accounts.
		Stocks are connected with the flows in that changes in their levels result from the accumulation of transactions and other flows over the accounting period in question.

		This estimate is based on an average of flow values computed at the beginning, and at the end, of the DT interval.
		Finally, the four intermediate flow calculations are averaged together, yielding an estimate of the flow.
		It is this average flow that is used to update the stock before the next iteration begins.

	European Ombudsman Decision 1939/2002/IJH
		If information on the stocks and flows of banknotes in the territories of different euro area Member States were to be made available to the public, it could jeopardise the security of both the storage of banknotes and their subsequent transfer between national central banks: these transfers are made to compensate for any (potential) shortages.
		Nevertheless, an important reason for denying access to information on stocks and flows of banknotes in different Member States is the risk that third parties could misinterpret the information and thus make a false assessment of the availability of certain banknote denominations.
		Disclosure of statistics about stocks and flows of Euro banknotes in the territories of different euro area Member States could undermine the interests set out in Article 4 of Decision ECB/1998/12, because it could jeopardise the security of both the storage of banknotes and their subsequent transfer between national central banks.

		The principal reason for drawing attention to the distinction between stocks and flows is that planning the physician workforce is about influencing and determining the magnitudes of flows.
		The chart shows the stock of physicians in the years 1997 and 1998 and accounts for the difference between the two numbers in terms of the flows into practice and out of practice.
		In the previous section, we discussed the role of the flow of first-time entrants into practice each year as the key indicator of the rate at which the physician workforce is renewed, expanded or contracted.

		In a meeting recently, Jerry Michalski drew a diagram of communication tools and media in the context of “stocks” and “flows”.
		Communication is either in a state of flow or it is stocked, and sometimes in transit from one to the other.
		In this case, the ultimate value came from using stocks and flows in concert.

		By determining precisely what stock is needed when, and then holding suppliers accountable for providing that stock within hours or even minutes of the right time, inventory carrying costs are dramatically reduced and the production process will flow smoothly.
		Flows, such as attrition, are simplified in these diagrams just as it is assumed that the populations within boxes are all the same.
		Although some large corporations rely on complicated and expensive computer models to forecast stocks and flows, for many companies these simple diagrams may be all that are needed to visualize the future workforce.

		In coastal districts, air chilled during the night can flow out to sea; sea breezes rise by day if the air is still, giving the coasts their characteristically small daily range of temperature.
		There are-many processes of materials flow operating within and on the surface of the "rock- sphere." The earthquakes, volcanoes, and landslides noted earlier are associated with it, as are the less dramatic processes of weathering and erosion.
		These flows maintain ourselves as an integral part of a living world which we increasingly utilise and impinge upon as we proceed with an ever increasing pace and scale of economic development.

		Stocks and flows improvements are represented with cycles rather than with terminating lines because data quality improvement is a continuous effort. In most practical situations 100% data accuracy will never be achieved and the level of accuracy will have a component of random fluctuation.
		Flow rate can be defined as the number of creates, inserts, updates and deletions per time period as a percentage of the average number of instances in the database over the same period. The period depends on the business cycle but per annum is a good start.
		Flows accuracy can be derived either by comparing new data in the database against the real world or by doing an independent check at the observation step in the data acquisition process (Figure 5).

	State of New Zealand's Environment 1997 - Chapter 7: State of the data [Ministry for the Environment]
		Knowing how much water is falling, flowing, and stored in New Zealand is important for agriculture, forestry, electricity generation, flood and erosion control, drought impact management, urban water supply, recreational use of rivers, and maintaining the habitat and biodiversity of fish and other stream and river life.
		With the establishment of catchment boards in the 1940s, monitoring was extended so that flood and erosion risk could be assessed and, in the 1960s, it was expanded still further so that water could be better managed to take account of its allocation and conservation.
		Today, most monitoring of ground and surface water levels and river flows is undertaken by the successors to the catchment boards - regional councils and unitary authorities.

		The aim is to show that a stock of unemployment is the "natural" result of an incessant flow of workers losing their jobs and trying to meet the requirements of vacancies.
