Thanks for the link! I had read this before, but it was worth revisiting. I especially like McConnell's distinction between long and short-term debt.

This is basically the kind of thing I'm looking for, but I'd like to see more details. In other words, more analogies between financial and development concepts.

As soon as I have the spare cycles, I'm going to write up a hypothetical project scenario, and explore some of the equations that whakka proposed. I think that a narrative might be easier for me to understand than a formal model.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
