URAP  >  Regional Economic Modeling

To provide a continuing basis of support for such activities, resources have been directed towards regional economic modeling and improving the access of scholars and the community-at-large to a variety of data resources.  This investment now permits ready access to a very substantial data base and a large-scale econometric model capable of forecasting regional economic activity and producing policy simulations.  These established resources add significantly to the quality of analysis available for use in the formulation of regional policy and promote academic research that will enhance our understanding of changes at the regional level and their policy consequences in the national and global contexts.
