Dear all This is a very timely discussion from our point of view. We are prioritising this work going in to 2011/12 academic year. As the comments make clear, there is a need to develop the approach and methodology from our earlier work so that it is credible and robust in a new fiscal environment. We are already talking to Treasury and BIS about what they need to see, and what their own modelling is telling them. I will let you know more as the details of our work (including timescales) emerge through discussion with our members and other groups we are talking to, but in the meantime if anyone has any useful experiences or feedback I'd be extremely grateful to hear them, either through this list or directly on the address below.

I understand that the modelling system was orginally developed by Ursula Kelly at the University of Strathclyde on behalf of UUK - I have emailed to ask if there are any plans to update the model's parameters but have not yet had a response. Will let you know if I do.

However, given that the model was created in 2007, at a time when the economy was in a far healthier state than at present, I can’t help but feel that the underlying economic parameters are quickly becoming obsolete and the outputs produced are invalid. > > After contact UUK it seems that their 2007 model is their most recent and that they have no immediate plans to role out a more up-to-date version. I suppose my question here is whether there is a more recent and suitable model out there or if anyone is working on an alternative modelling system / tool and if so will this be made available for use by a wider audience? > > I would be most grateful for any responses regarding this area of work. > > Kind regards, > Paul Ruddock > Data Analyst > Strategic Planning& Change > 111 Northcote House > The Queen's Drive > Exeter > EX4 4QJ -- Melody Butters Executive Support Manager Tel: 01782 734484 Robert Gordon University is The Sunday Times Scottish University of the Year 2011 Robert Gordon University, a Scottish charity registered under charity number SC 013781.
