Modelling wider economic impacts: future direction and key challenges

An open conversation, led by the DfT, about the way forward for Supplementary Economic Modelling (SEM), identifying key challenges to SEM becoming a trusted and integral part of scheme design and appraisal, and how best to overcome these challenges. 

DfT considers that we need the collective efforts of the industry to move things along;  a challenge for all of us, and not just the department. DfT wishes to understand when simpler and less expensive approaches are warranted, and acceptable, and how DfT can use the outputs from these models to inform decisions. Panel discussion: progress to date and a focus on next steps
