Abstract

Tho basis of this study is a macroeconometric model of Greece that consists of fifteen equations estimated by ordinary least squares methods from annual data and five definitional aggregates. The model is designed primarily to explain the behavior of the Greek economy from 1953, but it also has value for short run forecasting. A unique feature is the emphasis given to the interplay of imports, investment and exports. The stability test indicates a stable model with a damped oscillation of a twenty-five period cycle. The predictive ability tests were very favorable and the Durbin-Watson tests indicated low auto-correlation. Future forecasts were made with the use of trend estimated values for the exogenous variables. Finally, the analysis of multipliers was used to evaluate the policy implications of the model.
