Analytical Modeling of Bank Cash Flow: An Uncertain System Dynamics Approach

This paper presents an analytical and practical model for managing and getting the most proper bank cash flow. For this purpose, it uses a system dynamics approach and tests its ability to explore complexity and uncertainty of cash flow relationships through simulation related variables and structures. This study also makes a scenario analysis to evaluate banks decisions and their effects on cash flow positions to arrive at better decisions. A case study of a commercial bank is used to illustrate the findings. The findings show a satisfactory accuracy about the proposed model's ability in uncertain and continuous analytical problems such as cash flow management.
