Get in the shoes of a central bank policymaker! Use CORE’s inflation tool to discover what causes inflation in the economy and what means a central bank policymaker has to get it back to its target level.
Apply and deepen your knowledge of the WS/PS model, and test your understanding with questions and exercises.
Discover how we developed the inflation tool, thanks to the intuition of a brilliant undergraduate student and the collaboration between academics and a PhD student.
Skyscrapers are interactive, 3-D visualisations of the distribution of global income and wealth. You can explore the global Skyscrapers showing distributions for all countries between 1980 and 2020, or you can build your own Skyscrapers for years and countries of your choice.
Watch how global inequality changed from 1980 to 2020.

This simulator interactively visualises the effects of a household income shock on a country’s poverty indicators and income distribution. It also provides summary statistics related to the country’s income distribution, including the Lorenz curve, poverty rate, and the Gini coefficient.
In this simulation, you can see how a virus spreads across a population over time, and its associated effects on the economy and income inequality. You can compare the outcomes under two different scenarios: no virus mitigation measures, and social distancing.
Please note that due to technical reasons, this visualisation performs best in small teaching contexts, for example, a seminar of 20 people.
