Abstract:

"This paper presents a case study of two regional economic-demographic models: the Washington Projection and Simulation Model and the Hawaii Economic-Population Projection and Simulation Model. A discussion of model specification focusses attention on the interdependence of economic and demographic variables. Ex ante prediction tests demonstrate the models' forecasting capabilities. Simulations with the Washington model are conducted to show more clearly the interaction between economic and demographic activity in a region." (EXCERPT)
