This book teaches macroeconomic structural modelling, or the builiding of mathematical tools designed for forecasting and economic analysis. It concentrates on the use of the EViews package, which dominates the present market.
It is the base for a course given in particular at the Ecomod Summer School in Brussels, the next one on July 16-20, 2012. See all details at www.ecomod.net
Compared to other publications of this type, the approach is extremely practical. After defining the elements and purpose of modelling, we follow by steps the building of a representative model : data gathering, establishing the framework, estimating the equations, testing the result and using the model on the future, both for forecasting and econoimic analysis.
All along the process, technical and strategic information is provided about the use of EViews for the purpose.
A set of EViews files allowing to learn about the subject and to start building one's own model (from simple to operational) is also available on request at jlbrillet@yahoo.fr
