Abstract
This chapter details Step 4 of the research framework. This Step plays a key role in linking CGE analysis results to the reduced-form model. The CGE output and employment results serve as the set of independent variables against which the independent variables are regressed. We refer to the independent variables as User Interface Variables. The resulting regression coefficients for each User Interface Variable in the reduced-form model are plugged into the E-CAT User Interface. Step 4 is presented in three parts. First is the identification of unique sets of User Interface Variables for each threat. Second is the randomized draw of 100 or more combinations of these variables using Latin Hypercube Sampling. Third is the 100 plus random draws, which are then converted to CGE inputs via a series of linkages. Detailed explanation of the reduced-from regression analysis is presented in the next chapter.
