Overview

Subscribers to our Global Economic Model will now have the facility to run alternative scenarios in the Model and quantify their impact on the global economy. This capability is available via the Global Scenarios Workstation, a new addition to Oxford Economics’ suite of desktop applications.

 

 

Key features

Built-in scenarios

Users can select from a range of built-in scenarios relating to various aspects of the global economy and world events. Each one has been designed by our economists to provide a realistic simulation and comes with a detailed description of the assumptions behind it.

 

 

 

Solution options

Users can customise some aspects of the model solution such as the input database and the solution period.

 

 

Exploring the results

The Global Scenarios Workstation is integrated with our existing Global Model Workstation and Generate Results Tables applications to give users several ways to explore the impacts of their chosen scenario. For example, if you make a chart selection in the Global Model Workstation and then run a scenario, your chart will automatically be refreshed to include the new scenario database.

 

 

Working with model solution files

If you already use .EQN or .RUN files with our Global Economic Model, you will be able to use the same files in the Global Scenarios Workstation and thereby take advantage of the results analysis integration described above.
