NiGEM (National Institute Global Econometric Model) is based on estimation using historical data. It thus strikes a balance between theory and data and enables using NiGEM both for policy analysis and forecasting.

The structure of the NIGEM is designed to correspond to macroeconomic policy needs. NiGEM is a structured around the national income identity, can accommodate forward looking consumer behaviour and has many of the characteristics of a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model. Unlike a pure DSGE model, NiGEM is based on estimation using historical data.
