Macroabc now available as shareware on homepage United Nations

The Macroabc model made by Micromacro Consultants in an assignment given by United Nations has been published as shareware on the homepage of the UN:  http://esango.un.org/ldcportal/graduation

From the website three files can be downloaded:

1)  The paper 'Aid scenarios'   
2)  The Macroabc UN model  (this will take a few minutes to download)
3)  A Virtual Workshop explaining how to run the model (this will take a few minutes to download)

The model has already been used to analyse a smooth transition for small-island countries graduating from the LDC category, by simulating the effects on economic and fiscal variables and on the share of households below the poverty line, in case aid is reduced step by step down to almost zero in ten years. This has been done in several scenarios, including the ‘’Moyo” scenario.

Everybody is free to use Macroabc_UN_X.xls and inject his or her own assumptions, and see the results.
