Malaysia
GST Model
Econtech undertook detailed modelling of the impact of the proposed GST on consumer prices and the
Federal Government budget (2006-2007) for the Ministry of Finance.
Macroeconomic Model
Econtech developed a Murphy-style macroeconometric model of Malaysia for the Ministry of
Finance (2006-2007). The model is used to assist in preparing economic forecasts and budget projections
for the Economic Report that accompanies the annual Budget. The development work was supported
by the Asian Development Bank while associated training was supported by the United Nations Development Program.
Labour Market Model
Econtech constructed a detailed labour market model for the Economic Planning Unit (2003-2005). Econtech has
now been commissioned to upgrade the model (2007-2008). Both the initial model, and the recent upgrading, are
supported by the United Nations Development Program.
