It doesn't surprise me that you don't find anything. ODE are part of deterministic modeling, more akin to be used in physics and biomathematics, whereas economics dynamics are modeled by probabilistic models or.if you want stochastic differential equations.

You can also look for an ODE code in

While I couldn’t find a specific scientific article that directly models SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) using Ordinary Differential Equations (ODE), I did come across an

interesting paper that proposes a novel framework related to SDG 8. Let me share the details with you:

The paper titled “From ‘Decent work and economic growth’ to ‘Sustainable work and economic degrowth’:

a new framework for SDG 8” by Halliki Kreinin and Ernest Aigner1 introduces an alternative perspective

on SDG 8. Instead of focusing solely on economic growth, the authors propose a framework aligned

with strong sustainability and the latest scientific research.

They call it “Sustainable Work and Economic Degrowth.”

This framework includes new sub-goals, targets, and indicators that aim

to achieve a sustainable future for present and future generations.

While this paper doesn’t specifically use ODEs, it provides valuable insights into rethinking SDG 8

beyond traditional growth-oriented approaches.

Additionally, there’s another resource related to SDG 8: the chapter on SDG-8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth)

in the book "Business Models and ICT Technologies for the SDGs".

It discusses how emerging technologies can contribute to achieving full and productive

employment and decent work for all by 2030.

The third paper uses some mathematical approach, but not ODEs.

The fourth one is focused on Saudi Arabia, as an example.

I assume that you have to perform the ODE modelling on your, probably being the first person in this field (!?)
