Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor Peter Dixon, Dr Maureen Rimmer and their colleagues from the Centre of Policy Studies have developed a model of the US economy called Monash-USA in collaboration with the US International Trade Commission.

The model is currently being used in Washington not only by the Commission but also by the Departments of Commerce, Agriculture and Homeland Security.

The model enables simulations of likely effects of variables on the US economy. Applications so far include analyses of the effects of reducing trade barriers, restricting illegal immigration to the US, and partially replacing oil imports with locally produced ethanol.

Find out more about the Monash-USA model.
