MRPIS: A Research Strategy: A Policy Impact Study for Developing a Multi-Regional Policy Impact Simulation (MRPIS) Model

摘要

The report contains the research strategy that the grantee plans to follow in developing a comparative static, short-run economic microsimulation model of the U.S. economy that will provide information on the regional impacts of proposed and actual changes in government tax and transfer policies on production, employment, and incomes. The schedule involves construction of several intermediate simulation models, at various levels of detail, over a six-year period. The report also provides a theoretical basis for such model development, incorporating both Keynesian and non-Walrasian elements.
