Objectives

The specific objectives of the project are:

·        to provide a set of Social Accounting Matrices that can be used for quantitative policy analysis;

·        to produce a generic general equilibrium model that can be used to provide ex ante evaluations of alternative policy scenarios, and thereby inform both decision-making and negotiating positions;

·        to carry out a series of case studies that address contemporary policy concerns in the regions of South Africa, within South Africa and on the international stage;

·        to build domestic capacity that is capable of carrying forward and developing the research initiated by this project.
