Known as the East of England Forecasting model, it is a computer-based set of data for the common variables and a system for modelling the inter-relationships between these variables, with the capacity to generate forecasts and scenarios for each the variables at regional and local scales. The model is constructed primarily on an Excel spreadsheet and can thus be run on any personal computer. The economic relationships underpinning the model were primarily derived from Oxford Economics commercially available Regional Economic Model. Additional estimation at a local level was carried out for this project and applied to the Excel model. A full description of the model is contained in the final report for the EEDA project ‘East of England: Joint Modelling for the RES and RSS’, on the EEDA website at www.eeda.org.uk/files/Joint_RES-RSS_modelling_final.pdf.
