This section contains technical documents which describe the modelling and technical work of the division. This includes global and macroeconomic models like:

• the Global Forecasting Framework (GFF), used for globally consistent short-term projections at country level;
• the Global Policy Model (GPM), used for policy analysis and mid- to long-term economic scenarios at regional level;
• country-specific, dynamic-recursive CGE models, used for the evaluation of socio- economic developments and achievement of Millenium Development Goals under alternative policy scenarios.

and empirical frameworks for the evaluation of:

• trade shocks and economic vulnerability, which estimates the impact of changes in world income and commerce on the trade balance of countries by region and trade structure;
• world economic vulnerability and employment, which traces the implications of global economic developments on various categories of employment, unemployment, migration, etc.
