Models

Macroeconomics offers a range of economic modelling tools including:

ME-iSTAR
Released twice yearly

ME-iSTAR (industries, states & territories and regions) is a general equilibrium industry & regional model of the Australian economy. For Australia and its states and territories, it provides detailed statistics on the industry level for 109 different industries. The regional statistics provide detailed information for 76 areas and 17 industries (including experimental estimates for additional 10 industries) built into the model.
 
The model provides both short and long term forecasts for industries within regions as well as Australia as a whole and its states and territories. It is Australia’s most useful regional model because it can be used to simulate the impacts of region specific economic and policy changes to gauge the impact on employment, wage levels, value-added and household consumption (the building blocks of the living standards for regional inhabitants). It is presented in user friendly Excel® spreadsheets.
