The previous two chapters have illustrated the theoretical underpinnings of MASST (Chap. 5) and presented the econometric components of the model (Chap. 6). The MASST model, however, also comprises an intrinsic simulative component which is a necessary part of it. The first aim of this chapter is hence to explain technically how all the assumed and estimated causality links among the relevant variables and between national and regional economies work, and how one can obtain predicted values of both national and regional income and population growth from MASST.
