Development of economic models and frameworks
Research in this theme develops and enhances economic models and frameworks to assist the Commission and other researchers in analysing policy and other developments, with particular emphasis on regional and dynamic dimensions. Examples include the modelling of distributional effects of health outlays, and non-urban water usage.
