This report outlines the capabilities and benefits of the Massachusetts Economic Policy Analysis model as well as how the model arrives at the outcomes that it does. The MEPA model was used to chart out all 25 sectors of the Massachusetts economy for the 1976 fiscal year and then forecast the economy’s growth out to 1980. The report also includes a sample examination of a policy that would require this type of simulation with detailed results and exactly how they were simulated.
