Throughout the year, we run a range of public lectures, workshops, roundtables, press briefings and seminars to share the findings of our research, and facilitate the debate of these important issues.
Designed exclusively for NiGEM subscribers, this workshop will provide an introduction to the simulation suite, with a walk-through of the wizards. The focus of the session will be on running monetary policy shocks through the wizard and the risk premia channels in NIGEM.
Brexit has cast a long shadow over the UK economy, with its impact masked by the Covid-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine. Disentangling those effects is not straightforward. This workshop will revaluate the factors introduced and examine the ongoing impact of Brexit. There will be contributions from academic and policy-oriented…
Designed exclusively for our NiGEM subscribers, this training workshop will cover an introduction to the fiscal block in NIGEM, including fiscal multipliers. There will be several practical examples of how to introduce fiscal plans into NIGEM, both by using point and click wizard as well as more complex edit variable…
Aimed at users who are familiar with NiGEM, this workshop offers a guide to implementing the NGFS Phase III transitions scenarios, as well as modifying transition inputs to investigate alternative possibilities. It includes useful pointers of where the NGFS climate model and related files can be found on NIGEM website.
This workshop, designed for intermediate/advanced users of NiGEM who are already familiar with the model, inspects the role of expectations in NiGEM. Participants will be taken through how one can model different assumptions such as inflation expectations, targets, and central bank credibility.
This workshop is largely based on our recent topical feature, which updates our previous work - carried out shortly after the 2016 referendum - on the short-run and long-run effects of Brexit on GDP. The workshop takes users through the simulations used in the current analysis.

Whilst there may be a productivity enhancement as new roles emerge, work patterns altered and new skills developed, it is…
This workshop will provide a step-by-step guide in building complex scenarios using different channels in NiGEM. It is aimed at intermediate/advanced users of NiGEM, who are already familiar with how the model operates.
With an election expected to take place at some point in 2024, we begin the year by focusing this quarter's Business Conditions Forum on the following topics: Can we expect sluggish growth throughout 2024 or might we see a clear pick-up at some point in the year? What are the…
