ABSTRACT
The information flow between economic policy makers and economic model builders is not a one-way flow. The requirements and questions of policy makers play an important role in the development of economic models. It is not only the information that flows, but also people who flow. I have crossed the bridge between empirical modelling and policy-making several times, so I can touch upon my own experience with respect to the interaction between macroeconometric modelling and policy-making.
