Description of impact

Through the advancement and application of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling, Strathclyde’s Fraser of Allander Institute (FAI) has strengthened regional policy-making by enhancing analytical capacity and knowledge within Scotland (Scottish Government, City of Glasgow Council, Scottish Policy Foundation), Northern Ireland (Northern Ireland Executive) and Europe (European Commission). By enabling effective and efficient regional economic modelling and multi-sectoral analysis, this research has supported and strengthened evidence-based policy development in response to a range of pressing issues including climate change and Brexit.
