    Multiplier analysis

    As part of testing and analysing the model a set of , standard multipliers, , , first year effects,  and a , collection of examples, is presented with every model version. These give a broad overview of the analysis possibilities of ADAM. Multipliers are used to analyse the effects of economic and political changes.  A demand shock in ADAM affects both production, employment and consumption in the short run. In the long run the effect on employment disappears. In contrast, a supply shock will have a permanent effect on employment. This is in line with most models of small open economies with a fixed exchange rate policy and a Phillips curve. , In principle, there is no automatic monetary or fiscal policy reaction function in ADAM. This aspect should be taken into consideration in the comparison with other economic models. Furthermore the specific danish laws and rules modelled in ADAM could be important when comparing with models for other economies. , For every new model version a series of standard experiments are produced to enable the analysis of the model characteristics. At the same time, the experiments makes it possible to compare the characteristics of the new model version with previous ones. All multiplier analysis are based on a base line representing a solution with respect to the endogenous variables based on a stylized forecast of the exogenous variables. , standard multipliers,  are made by changing one or a few of the exogenous variables and afterward calculating the effect on the endogenous variables. , first year effects,  represents the short run. Focus is especially on fiscal policy and the characteristics are examined by comparing with the previous model version.,  ,

The event took place from May 26-28, th, with our engagement as part of the Strategic Sector Cooperation, funded by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. At the ‘Data Fair’, parliamentarians met with Ghana Statistical Service to discuss the crucial role of data and statistics for decision-making.,  , Director for Social Statistics, Niels Ploug is speaking on line from Copenhagen, Denmark. , Photo: Harrison Ofori,  , As part of the ‘Data Fair’ Director for Social Statistics, , Niels Ploug, , spoke about the relevance of using administrative data for the production of statistics in a video shot at Statistics Denmark. Our colleagues at the Embassy of Denmark, Ghana, were attending the event. , An inventory of administrative data for the production of statistics is based on a digitalisation of administrative procedures. This requires political decisions to modernise the administration of sectors like population registration and give the statistical agency unlimited access to data. And positively, in the key notes of the Ghana Speaker of Parliaments, Alban Kingsford Sumana Bagbin, announced that “if we have data, let us go with data”.  , Denmark has produced population statistics based on administrative data since the 1970’s and therefore our experts at Statistics Denmark are pleased to assist Ghana, through the Strategic Sector Collaboration, in their development of statistics based on administrative data. The process of digitalising the registration of birth and death and establishing the Ghana Card is essential and a good place to start. A bold vision would be for the upcoming 2021 Population and Housing Census to be replaced by administrative data for 2031 Census.,
