| Sumario: | The purpose of the expert group meeting was to bring together modelling practitioners to share
experiences and to reflect on how to overcome new and old challenges to model building in the
Caribbean. As part of the rationale for such a meeting, it was argued that since a major objective of
policymaking in the Caribbean was to create the conditions for growth with equity while reducing
vulnerability to economic and environmental shocks, model builders must develop strategies to properly
address those questions in a unified way. It was further suggested that those goals, though
straightforward, required a concentrated technical effort to clarify and update understanding of the
workings of Caribbean economies. The emphasis on addressing issues of growth, equity and vulnerability
was urgent because Caribbean economies were at a crossroads, with major challenges to the foundations
and premises on which the economies had been built. |
