This article analyses the properties of five major macroeconometric models of the UK economy in the light of the current debate over the setting of monetary and fiscal policy instruments. The broad objectives of current policy—sound public finances and low inflation—are reflected...

This article describes the current versions of six leading macroeconometric models, focusing on their treatment of several current policy issues, namely the role of the housing market, the implications of ERM membership and, more generally, the relative effectiveness of fiscal and monetary...

This article describes the current versions of six major macroeconometric models, and analyses their overall properties as revealed in standard simulation experiments. Particular attention is given to a policy issue of long-standing importance, namely the control of the size of the government...

This paper describes the properties of five major macroeconometric models of the UK economy, through analysis of six standard policy simulations. The simulations are conducted, as far as possible, in a consistent manner across the models. The models were deposited with the ESRC Macroeconomic...

This article is an example of the type of exercise that is made possible by the existence of the set of UK models at Warwick. Using three quarterly models, those of the London Business School (LBS), the National Institute of Economic and Social Research (NIESR) and Her Majesty's Treasury (HMT),...

This paper describes the current versions of six major macroeconometric models, using their wage-price-exchange rate interaction as a core supply-side framework in which to interpret their properties, as revealed in standard simulation experiments. Analysis of the individual relationships...
