New features of the EUROMOD-JRC Interface

Three features have been recently added to the EUROMOD-JRC Interface:

(1) estimation of medium-term impact of simulated policy reforms, using a VAR model developed by Wouter van der Wielen;

(2) all the output is now provided in a single simplified Excel workbook;

(3) the EUROMOD-JRC Interface is now mobile-friendly!

Very soon one more feature will be added: the possibility of running policy reforms on hypothetical households.
