I feel a financial model is any math that describes/explains/relates/predicts economic numbers.
A "model" means something different in buy-side than in derivative pricing including complex structured products.
On the buy-side, I feel a model is like a regression formula that Predicts a (single?) dependent variable using several explanatory variables. In simple words, such a model is an alpha model, which is related to a trading strategy.
