Abstract

This paper describes the modelling of variables usually treated as exogenous parameters in regional simulation models, and identifies the areas where those variables are particularly important. A multi regional approach allows the direct modelling of interregional migration, unemployment differentials, and industrial growth changes; the paper describes the equations involved and discusses a multiregional model for Great Britain. Results from initial experimentation with the model are presented, and its ability to replicate real data is tested. The model permits the incorporation of policy decisions and programmes; simulation results show the application of a development area policy and a migration assist ance programme. Further development of the model by more detailed breakdown of the population and indus trial sectors is outlined.
