Growth, structure and knowledge economics
The sector Growth, industrial structure, and knowledge economics conducts policy-relevant institutional and empirical economic analyses in the areas of education, innovation, R&D and ICT, and is responsible for the linking of these micro-economic subjects with the macro economy. A major aim is gaining insight into the causes and consequences of productivity growth. To that end, the sector conducts empirical research primarily on the micro level. The underlying context of this research is, however, typically a macro-economic one. Effort is therefore made to incorporate the micro research into a macro-economic analysis.
The sector also conducts research and performs middle and long term forecasts
of a more general macro-economic nature using CPB’s macroeconomic model
SAFFIER. The sector additionally maintains research programs on general
macro-economic theory and modelling. In the case of research into the
environment, energy, and spatial economics, where a macro approach is
sometimes deemed to be inappropriate, the sector will opt for an analysis on a
sectoral level using the Athena model.
