1. Analytical Framework and Model Structure
1.1Purpose and Objectives
The basic purpose of this exercise is to build an operational macroeconomic model
for Nepal in the consistent macroeconomic accounting framework, depicting theunderlying structure, trends and interrelations among major macroeconomic
variables. The detailed analytical framework and structures of sub-models were
described in the Inception Report prepared in October 2009. These have been
modified in the light of written comments provided by the EAD and concerned
divisions of the Research Department, NRB followed by subsequent discussions with
them in the first week of April 2010.
The analytical framework is consistent with the basic concepts and interrelationsunder the UN System of National Accounts (UN-SNA), and the IMF Government
Finance Statistics (GFS), Balance of Payments (BOP) Statistics and the Monetary-Financial Statistics (MFS). Thus, the model consists of five inter-related accounts asindicated below:(i) Real Sector (National Accounts)(ii) Government Sector (Fiscal Account)(iii) External Sector (Balance of Payments Account)(iv) Monetary Sector (Monetary and Financial Account), and(v) Prices, Interest and Exchange Rates.
1.2 Model Structure and Analytical Framework
Basic structures of the sub-models and their interrelations are depicted in the form ofa flow diagram in Box-1.1 and Figure-1.1. The linkages between key aggregates of
the national accounts and the balance of payments flows and government finance
statistics can be summarized algebraically within a savings/investment framework.
Let us use the following symbols,
National Accounts System (NAS)
GDPFC = Real GDP at constant FC = GDPSectorGDPSector = Sector (Agriculture, industry, services) GDP at FCC
= private consumption expenditureG = government consumption expenditure
4

Upgraded Nepal Macroeconomic Model- Test, Calibrations and Projections
I = gross domestic investmentS = gross savingX = exports of goods and (non-factor) servicesM = imports of goods and (non-factor) servicesNFY = net factor income from abroad
GDP = gross domestic productGNP = gross national product = GDP + NFYGNDY = gross national disposable income + Net Transfer
On the supply side, overall GDP equals the sectoral value added for different sectorssuch as agriculture, industry and services. In our model, industry has four sub-sectors viz. mining and quarrying, manufacturing, construction and public utilities(comprising electricity, gas and water supply). Service has four sub-sectors viz. (a)wholesale and retail trade, hotels and restaurants; (b) transport and communications;(c) financial services and real estate; and (d) social sectors comprising health,education, public administration, religious, personal and community services. GDP
for the sub-sectors are projected at both constant factor cost and current marketprices.
On the demand side, GDP at factor cost equals government consumption, privateconsumption, investment and inventories, and exports less imports. These items areprojected at current basic prices. By adding indirect taxes less subsidies, we get theGDP at current market prices. GNI equals GDP plus Net Factor Income from abroad,while Gross National Disposable Income equals GNI plus Net Transfer.
Balance of Payments (BOP)
CAB = current account balance in the balance of payments = TB + SB + FIB + NCTRT = reserve asset transactionsTB = Merchandise trade balance = Merchandise Exports Merchandise ImportsSB = Non-factor service balance (travel, tourism, financial, business, ICT etc.)FIB = Factor income balance (interest, dividends, wages, rent, royalties etc.)NCT = Net current transfer (official grants, private grants, remittances)NKT = net capital transfersNPNNA = net purchases of non-produced, non-financial assetsNFI = net foreign investment or net lending/ net borrowing vis--vis the rest of theworld
NKA = net capital and financial account (i.e., all capital and financial transactionsexcluding reserve assets)
Government Finance Statistics (GFS)
R = Revenue = T + NTT = Tax revenueNT = Non-Tax revenueGR = GrantsGEXP = Government expenditure and net lending = G + GKG = government consumption expenditure
GK = Government capital expenditure and net lending = GCE + NDGCE = Government capital expenditure

ND = Net lendingGFD = Gross Fiscal Deficit = (R+GR) - GEXP
However, various components of taxes have been considered in the actualcalibrations. These are described in details in the sub-models.
Monetary-Financial Statistics (MFS)
MD = Demand for money = NFA+CRG + CRP + OIMS = Supply of money = DD + TD + CNNFA = Net foreign assetsCRG = Credits to the government and public enterprisesCRP = Credits to the private sectorOI = Other itemsDD = Demand deposits
TD = Time depositsCN = Currency and notes in circulation
Prices, Interest Rates and Exchange Rates
CPI = Consumer Price IndexWPI = Wholesale Price IndexGDPDF = GDP DeflatorINT = Rate of interestPLR = Prime lending rateFDR = Fixed deposit rateER = Exchange rate of Nepalese Rupee per US dollar
Various other prices, deposit rates, lending rates and inflation rates are considered inthe sub-model.
The Macroeconomic Balance Equations stand as follow:
GDP = C + G + I +XM (1)(XM= balance on goods and services in the balance of payments)GNP = GDP + NFY (2)
CAB = X M + NFY+NCT (3)GNDY = C + G + I + CAB (4)GNDY = C + G + S (5)
Equating (4) and (5) we get:S I = CAB i.e. saving-investment gap (resource gap) equals CAB (6)S I + (NKT NPNNA) = CAB + (NKTNPNNA) = NFI (7)(NKT NPNNA) = balance on the capital account of the balance of payments.
Interrelationship between the internal and external sectors of an economy can beseen in greater detail by distinguishing between private and public sectors. Private
saving and investment (Sp and Ip) and government saving and investment (Sg andIg) are identified as:
6

Upgraded Nepal Macroeconomic Model- Test, Calibrations and Projections
SI = Sp+SgIpIg (8)
Use of the definition of the externalcurrent account from equation (1) then gives:CAB = (SpIp) + (SgIg) = SI (9)
Equation (9) shows that the private savings-investment balance plus the governmentfiscal balance equals the current account balance. It also implies that, if governmentsector dissaving is not offset by net saving of the private sector, the current accountwill be in deficit. More specifically, the equation shows that the budgetary position ofthe government (Sg-Ig) may be an important factor influencing the current accountbalance.
Government deficit is financed by borrowing from the domestic sector, borrowingfrom the external sector and borrowing from the central bank. All these factors haveinfluences on the domestic capital and financial markets and also on the balance of
payments.
Economists generally agree that a persistent fiscal deficit may ultimately spill overthe current account deficit in the balance of payments. On the converse, a sustainedcurrent account deficit may reflect persistent government spending in excess ofreceipts, and such excess spending may suggest that fiscal tightening is theappropriate policy action to tackle both fiscal and balance of payments problems.
We also know that
CAB = NKA+RT = SI (10)
Equation (10) shows that the current account balance is necessarily equal (with signreversed) to the net capital and financial account balance plus reserve assettransactions. This relationship shows that the net provision, as measured by thecurrent account balance, of resources to or from the rest of the world mustbydefinitionbe matched by a change in net claims on the rest of the world.It may be useful to rewrite CAB as:
SI = CAB = TB+SB+FIB+NCT = NKA+RT, where (11)
Where TB, SB, FIB and NCT stand for trade balance, services balance, factorincomes balance and transfer balance respectively.

1.3Inter-Sectoral Financial Transactions Matrix
In a paper entitled Balances, Imbalances and Fiscal Targets- a New Cambridge
Model Wynne Godley and Alex Izurietaof theCambridge Endowment for Research
in Finance (CERF), University of Cambridge used a simplified accounting matrix to
illustrate the interrelations of financial transactions among various sectors of the
economy. They argued that macroeconomic analysis would be easier if the main
income and expenditure flows comprising the GDP are arranged in a double entry
format as in Table-1.1. The two-way table indicates clearly the transactions among
any two economic agents viz. producers, consumers, government, and rest of the
world. The matrix shows how the gap between receipts and outlays of any sector
implies an equivalent rise or fall in its net acquisition of financial assets.
In this matrix the national income identity is shown, running vertically down in column
2, as the appropriation account of a postulated production sector. It says that gross
domestic product, Y, is equal to private expenditure, Cplus government expenditure,
G, plus exports,X, less imports, M. Every item in the GDPidentity has a counterpart
with the opposite sign in some other column. Taxes less transfers, T, are received or
paid by the government; net property income, taxes and transfers, TFand TP, are
paid by respectively the external and private sectors. The total in line 7 shows that
public borrowing, PSNB, equals the private net acquisition of financial assets, NAFA,(that is saving less investment, or net saving) minus the balance of payments

surplus, BP or plus the deficit. Wynne Godley and Alex Izurieta illustrated the
analysis with the help of UK and USA data. One important conclusion of the analysis
is that the financial balances (relative to income flows) must stay within certain limits
for maintaining the sustainability of public debt over time. This in turn implies that
that a strict monitoring of these basic balances is essential for formulation of effectivemacro stabilization policies.

2. Data Base
The basic data for 160 variables for the years 1975-20095 are obtained from the
official sources. Basic data on national accounts are obtained from the Central
Bureau of Statistics (CBS), Nepal supplemented by the data from the Nepal Rastra
Bank. Data on government finance statistics are obtained from the Nepal Ministry of
Finance and the Nepal Rastra Bank. Data on monetary and financial statistics and
the balance of payments statistics are obtained from the Nepal Rastra Banksupplemented by the data from the International Monetary Fund. Data on sectoral
employment and investment are estimated by the national consultants Prof. Durga
Lal Shrestha and Prof. Vikas Raj Satyal by using standard interpolation and
extrapolation techniques on the basis of limited data obtained from official sources.
So the data base can be considered to be authentic and reliable.
5 The year 1975 refers to the fiscal year ending with mid-July 1975 i.e. the fiscal year from mid-July 1974 to
mid-July 1975. Similarly, the year 2009 refers to the fiscal year ending with mid-July 2009 i.e. the fiscal year
from mid-July 2008 to mid-July 2009.

The basic concepts and sources of variables and necessary adjustments are
indicated in Annex-1. The identities and descriptions of all variables are given in the
Annex-2. It may please be noted that all variables in the real sector start with the
letter y, those in the BOP sub-sector start with word bop, those in the
government finance start with gf and those in the monetary sector start with m.The names of other variables are self explanatory. The actual data sets are
presented in Annex-3 and the standard descriptive statistics of the variables are
presented in Annex-4.
2.1 Data Base on National Accounts for 1975-2009
It presents time series data on sectoral GDP at both current and constant 2000-01
prices in national currency (millions of Nepalese rupee) for the years 1975-2009. It
has data on both broad sectors of the economy viz. agriculture, industry and
services, and sub-sectors within these broad sectors. No sub-sector is considered
for Agriculture due to lack of long term series, while industry is sub divided into four
sub-sectors viz. mining and quarrying, manufacturing, construction and public utilities
(comprising electricity, gas and water supply), and services sector is sub divided into
four subsectors viz. wholesale and retail trade and hotels and restaurants; transport,
storage and communications; finance and insurance and real estate; and social
services (comprising health, education, public administration, community, social and
personal services).
In terms of current market prices, sectoral data are available for nine sub-sectors as
mentioned above. However, real GDP (at constant 2000-01 prices) are available foronly three broad sectors viz. agriculture, industry and services. Therefore, four types
of GDP deflators have been derived for agricultural, industrial, service and overall
GDP by the formula: GDP Deflator= 100*GDP at current market price/ GDP at
constant market price.
2.2 Data on Balance of Payments for 1975-2009
Data on Balance of Payments for the years 1975-2009 are obtained from the Nepal
Rastra Bank, supplemented by the data from the IMF. Necessary adjustments have
been made to take care of changes in the basic concepts, definitions andclassifications over the years (please see Annex-1 for methodology for detailed
adjustments).
2.3 Data on Monetary Survey and Prices for 1975-2009
Data on Monetary Survey, Financial Statistics and CPI for the years 1975-2009 are
obtained from the Research Department of the Nepal Rastra Bank.

2.4 Data on Government Fiscal Operations for 1975-2009
Basic data on government financial statistics for the years 1975-2009 are taken from
the Nepal Rastra Bank supplemented by the data from the Ministry of Finance.
Necessary adjustments have been made to take care of changes in the basic
concepts, definitions and classifications over the years.
3 Basic Presumptions for Projections
As discussed in the Inception Report on Modeling prepared in October 2009, despite
the global financial crisis and economic recession, the Nepalese economy performed
well in 2008 and achieved real growth of 5.3 percent aided by agricultural growth at
4.7 percent, industrial growth at 1.8 percent and services growth at 7 percent.
Inflation was contained at 7.7 percent and there was a surplus on the current
account of the balance of payments. The reasons for no significant adverse impact
of global financial crisis on the Nepalese economy include the following:
(a) Nepals financial sector has limited external liabilities and assets.(b) Although its external current account has close links with the rest of the world,
the major link is with India which maintained relatively high growth ratesduring the crisis period.
(c) Nepal and India also maintained normal trade links during the crisis period.
Although the global slowdown did not have much adverse impact on the Nepalsfinancial sector, the real sector growth in 2008/09 was affected adversely by thedomestic factors such as unfavorable monsoon, power shortage and labor unrest. As
per the estimate of the Central Bureau of Statistics (CBS) the real GDP growth rateat basic prices decelerated from 5.3% in FY2008 to 3.8% in FY2009. The slowdownis broad-based, encompassing agriculture, industry and services. The agriculturesector grew by only 2.2% in FY2009, down from 4.7% in FY2008; industrial sector by1.8% almost the same as 1.9% in FY2008; and service sector by 5.8%, significantlydown from 7.0% in FY2008.
There was significant acceleration of the consumer price inflation from 7.7% in 2008to 13.2% in 2009 contributed by food inflation of 14.8 percent and non-food inflationof 9.8 percent. However, the fiscal situation and the balance of payments havesurplus on current accounts and macroeconomic fundamentals are sound. Both thegovernment and the monetary authority deserve to be complemented for maintainingeconomic stability in a difficult socio-economic-political context.
There are now indications that these adverse factors also continued in 2010. As per
the estimates made by the ADB Nepal Resident Office, real GDP growth rate is
expected to remain subpar at approximately 3.5% in FY2010 (16 July 2009 15
July 2010). Services are expected to expand robustly, but may not sufficiently offset
the weak performance of industry and agriculture. Industrial growth may remain
subdued due to continued political disturbances, frequent power cuts, and fuel
shortages. Assuming normal weather conditions during the winter, agriculture outputgrowth is also expected to decelerate from last year in view of significantly reduced
12

13/74
Upgraded Nepal Macroeconomic Model- Test, Calibrations and Projections
summer crop output due to poor weather. There is liquidity crunch in the banking
sector caused by a number of factors such as decelerating remittances, heavy
imports and excessive lending by commercial banks. Fuelled by high import prices
and high CPI inflation in India, domestic inflation is also running at high levels, and
challenging macroeconomic stability during 2010. Consequently, there was upwardtrend of deposit and lending rates in contrast to the declining trend in the recent past.
Despite the political turmoil and the labor unrest, both the government and the Nepal
Rastra Bank deserve complements for adopting sound macroeconomic and prudent
monetary policies to tackle the adverse impact of the global financial crisis and
economic recession and spiraling inflation in Nepal.
In the Budget estimate for 2010, the Ministry of Finance projected a rise of the
expenditure outlay by 37% and revenue by 37% over FY2009. Although the targets
were ambitious, the mid-term review of the budget carried out by the Ministry of
Finance in February 2010 suggested that both expenditure and revenue targets arelikely to be met.
Our forecasts of key macro-economic variables for the years 2011-2015 take into
account the developments in the current year 2010. We further assume that the
transitional problems of strikes and labor unrest will be solved by the next year. In
addition, our base line projections are based on the following presumptions:
(a) Government will continue with the prudent macroeconomic management.(b) There will be no weather socks;(c) Ongoing political problem will soon be over and there will be politicalstability to create enabling environment for private investment including foreigninvestment;(d) There will be no other internal and external shocks, except volatile oilprices.(e) Tourists arrivals and travel incomes would return to normal levels;(f) Remittances would continue to be buoyant;(g) Donors support to Nepal would continue at normal levels;(h) There will be no change in the real exchange rate of the Nepalese rupeeduring the projection period.
4. Test and Calibration Techniques
4.1 Standard descriptive statistics
First of all, we examined the standard descriptive statistics for all variables (seeAnnex-3). These include Mean, Median, Maximum, Minimum, Standard deviation,degree of Skewness, degree of Kurtosis, and Jarque-Bera statistics for test ofnormality. An analysis of these statistics lead to the conclusion that most of thevariables are positively skewed (i.e. Mean>Median) and leptokurtic (degree ofKurtosis>1) implying more values around the mean than in the tails, and deviatefrom normal distribution. 85 out of 161 variables showed some problems in Normality
test.

4.2 Test of Trend Stationarity
The classical Least Squares (CLS) is based on the assumption that bothendogenous and exogenous variables are stationary. Hence, tests are needed toverify if the variables are stationary or not. If some variables are not stationary, they
are needed to make stationary by various techniques such as using autoregressive(AR) and/or moving average (MA) components.
For stationarity test we have applied the KPSS method which is the direct method forthe test of trend stationarity, and observed that most of the variables are trendstationary at the level. However, we have not examined other tests on the existenceof unit root or stationarity such as the ADF test, PP test etc. One of the most popularunit root tests is the Dickey Fuller (DF) or its slight modification the AugmentedDickey Fuller (ADF) test. But, econometric literature has indicated many limitations ofthis test- particularly its lack of power to test random walk. Econometricians alsoindicate the following limitations of ADF test:
a) DF test is a parametric test that uses Tau -statistics as its underlyingdistribution. However, Tau cannot be approximated to t-distribution in manydifferent situations.
b) Similarly ADF test uses restricted F-statistics as its underlying distributionwhich again cannot be approximated to F distribution in many differentsituations. In such situations the critical value cannot be used for comparison.
c) DF test assumes that ut are uncorrelated. So the test cannot give meaningfulresults if we have autocorrelation in ut.
d) Diebold and Rudebusch (1991) show that the DF/ADF unit root tests have lowpower against fractionally-integrated processes.
e) De Jong et al. (1992) argue that the Dickey-Fuller unit root test has lowpower against trend stationary processes.
f) Perron (1989) argue that if the time-series contains a structural break, thenthe DF unit root tests will lead to the acceptance of the null of a unit root,when in fact the series is stationary.
Consequently, many economists have argued against using the DF/ADF unit roottests and proposed other powerful tests, such as the direct tests that can be usedto test the null hypothesis of stationarity against the alternative of non-stationarity. In this respect, the most popular one is the KPSS test developed by
Kwiatkowski, Phillips, Schmidt, and Shin (1992)6
. It is also most meaningful whenone fits multiple regression equations, not merely an autoregressive model.
KPSS test is based on the null hypothesis that the time series being tested is
stationary around a deterministic trend. All the tests of KPSS performed by us were
at the leveled form and with trend and intercept. Our tests indicate that all series are
stationary at the level at the level within 10% level of significance, except four
variables which are stationary at first difference.

4.3 Choice of Variables and Direction of Causality
The dependent and independent variables were chosen by standard economic
principles as per macroeconomic theories. It is not possible to discuss all thesetheories, as the economic literature is vast. Basically, the model is based on the
circular flows of income and expenditure in the economy (as depicted in Figure-1.1
above), which have feedbacks on each other. Choice of dependent and
independent variables was facilitated by the Granger causality test7. But, it should
be kept in mind that the Granger causality is a statistical causality indicating
precedence and information content but does not by itself indicate causality in the
more common use of the term8.
4.4 Pearson Correlation Matrix
Prearson correlation matrix9 for a group of independent variables was also estimated
to examine whether there exists problems of multicollinearity among the variables. In
general, if the multiple correlation coefficient (adjusted for the degrees of freedom)
happens to be lower than the partial correlation coefficient between two variables,
then there exists the problem of multicollinearity among these variables, and the
associated regression coefficients will be either overestimated or underestimated.
4.5 Selection of Statistical Method for Estimation
We decided to use the ordinary least squares (OLS) or ARIMA models for estimationand to test whether the standard assumptions of OLS are satisfied. It may bementioned here that the use of Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) is in fact supported bylarge scale macroeconomic modeling10. In most situations, given constraints onresources in terms of money, time, technical manpower and the available hardwareand software, a modeler has to make a compromise between what is technically
7Null hypothesis for the Granger causality test is X does not Granger cause Y. If the calculated F is
small and consequently the associated probability is larger than 0.05, then at 5% level we accept the
null hypothesis that X does not Granger cause Y. Conversely, if probability is smaller than 0.05 we
conclude that the null hypothesis is rejected indicating a significant direction of causation from X to Y.
If both X Granger causes Y and Y Granger causes X, we need to adopt the simultaneous system
of relations.
8 Granger causality analysis is a method for investigating whether one time series can correctly
forecast another (Granger, 1969). This method is based on multiple regression analysis. The Granger
approach to the question of whether x causes y is to see how much of the current can be explained by
past values of y and then to see whether adding (d) lagged values of x can improve the explanation.
Here, y is said to be Granger-caused by x if x helps in the prediction of y, or equivalently if the
coefficients on the lagged xs are statistically significant. The statement x Granger causes ydoes not
imply that y is the effect or the result of x. Granger causality measures precedence and information
content but does not by itself indicate causality in the more common use of the term.
9
The most widely-used type of correlation coefficient is Pearson r (Pearson, 1896), also called linear orproduct-momentcorrelation. The coefficient measures the degree of relation among two variables only when the
underlying relation is linear.

desirable and what is operationally feasible and widely usable for sustainability.Although minimum statistical and professional standards need to be satisfied forpeer review, such standards need to be practicable, simple and widely understood.
Given the above mentioned criteria, modelers often prefer OLS for large scale
macro-econometric modeling. OLS is user friendly and easily understood by bothtechnical and non-technical policy makers. OLS is also best suitable to capture inter-relations among various variables and for projections and simulations.
However, OLS should not be used when the basic conditions are not satisfied. Forall our equations, the basic statistical tests are fully satisfied for OLS.
4.5 Use of Auto Regressive Models
First of all, correlograms table was examined for a series. If there was
autocorrelation for a variable, the following criterion was adopted to choose the
correct form of ARIMA.
Identification of ARIMA Model by examining Serial Auto Correlation Factor
(SACF) and Partial Autocorrelation Factors (PACF)
Process SACF PACF
AR(p) Geometrically declining Curtailed after lag p
MA(q) Curtailed after lag q Geometrically declining
ARMA(p,q) Declining after lag q Declining after lag pSource: Madsen, Henning (1992) Forecasting Econometric Time Series- An Introduction.
It was observed that for most of the variables, SACF was geometrically declining and
the PACF was curtailed after lag 1. So for most of the exogenous variables, AR(1)
was taken as the suitable model. For a few variables, AR(1) and MA(1) model was
accepted for calibration.

However, a number of countries like the Thailand Monetary Committee, the Philippines and Slovaniahave conducted usual tests (such as Unit Root and Cointegration) before using the OLS Method.

4.6 Statistical Tests for the Fitted Equations
The best fitted relations are decided on the basis of following criteria:
(a) Highest value of R-Bar-square
(b) Significant t-values for the regression coefficients(c) F-statistic: tests the hypothesis that all the slope coefficients (excluding theconstant) in a regression are equal to zero.
(d) Prob (F-statistic)
(e) Mean Absolute Percentage Error and Theil Inequality Coefficients-These two statistics are scale invariant, and smaller the smaller the error, thebetter the forecasting ability of that model according to the criterion. The Theilinequality coefficient always lies between zero and one, where zero indicatesa perfect fit.
(f) Bias Proportion, variance proportion and covariance proportion- thesethree proportions add up to unity. The bias proportion tells us how far themean of the forecast is different from the mean of the actual series. Thevariance proportion tells us how far the variation of the forecast is differentfrom the variation of the actual series. The covariance proportion measuresthe remaining unsystematic forecasting errors. For good forecast, the biasand variance proportions should be small so that most of the bias should beconcentrated on the covariance proportions.
(g) Test of autocorrelation- In general, Durbin Watson Statistic is used to testautocorrelation in the residuals. Ideally, DW should be around 2. However, if
the regression model contains AR(p) as an independent variable, then DWstatistic does not provide the real test. Then serial correlation may beexamined by: View Residual Test Correlogram-Q-statistics. TheEViews will show the autocorrelation function (AC), the partial autocorrelationfunction (PAC), the Box-Ljung Q statistic (Q-stat) and its p-value. If the p-values are small for all lags, there is no serial correlation.
(h) If the multiple R-square exceeds the Durbin Watson Statistic, then there is theproblem of non-stationarity of the variables. So such equations have beenaccepted for projections.
(i) We also examined the actual values of the dependent variable, the fitted
values, and the residuals by: View
Actual,Fitted,Residual
Actual,Fitted,Residual Table
4.7 Fitted Equations and Tables on Eviews7
All the fitted equations and tables have been listed in the Eviews7 Workfile. Initially,
alternative equations were tried with many variables. But, non-significant variables
have been dropped, and only significant equations have been kept in the file.
However, in some cases there are alternative significant equations. Ultimately, we
have selected one among these equations on the basis of economic and statistical
criteria and some value judgements for ultimate projection and simulations.

5. Computer Algorithms
Test, calibrations, simulations and projections have been done with the help of
EViews7 software. Excel data files have been converted to Eviews7 workfile.
Variables, identities and equations have been coded and programmed on EViews7.
All necessary inputs on EViews have been prepared to prepared the required Visualdisplay of the model. However, the work on preparing the Visual Display is
incomplete due to non-procurement of the necessary vendor for preparation of the
visual display software. However, the test, calibration, simulation and projections of
the model were completed only on the 29th May 2010. Engagement of vendor before
completing the modeling calibration would have been very expensive. Therefore,
non-engagement of the vendor is justied on economic considerations.
So, in a way, there was time constraint to complete the whole work. Only seven
weeks were available to gather and validate data, specify, test, calibrate the
equations and make simulations for alternative policy options. Seven weeks are not
sufficient to build and calibrate such a large sized macro economic model.
The remaining works on visual display may either be completed in the intermittent
period with the help of the local IT Specialist or be completed in the third phase
which will be mainly utililized for the development, test, calibration, projections and
simulations of a Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Model (DSGEM).

grouped as social sectors comprising health, education, public administration,personal, religious, community and other social services.
Similarly, GDP by expenditure category has been restructured since the date.Consumption expenditure has been classified into government consumption, private
consumption and non-profit institutions. Government consumption expenditure isfurther sub-classified into collective and individual consumptions and the privateconsumption is sub-classified into food, non-food and services.
Government Finance Statistics
The structure of the government finance has also been changed since the fiscal year2001/02. The government expenditure has being classified into recurrent, capitaland principle payment instead of conventional classification into regular anddevelopment expenditure. The regular and development expenditures before thefiscal year 2001/02 have been transformed into recurrent and capital expenditures
and principal payment with required adjustments.
Balance of Payments (BOP) Statistics
The balance of payment data have also been changed since the fiscal year1999/2000. Both export and import of goods are classified into oil and non-oilcomponents. (Factor) Income has been separated from the (non-factor) servicetrade. The financial account has been treated as a separate sub heading and haspresented in detailed structures from the capital account (capital transfers).
Adjustments
Thus, the structures of national account statistics, government finance and balanceof statistics have been improved since the end of twentieth century and starting ofthe twenty first century. These improvements and changes in concepts andclassifications have been considered and have necessitated appropriate adjustmentsin the time series data for making them comparable and consistent over time.Besides, some national account statistics, before and after the fiscal year 1984/85,are found to be a little bit inconsistent due to the methodological changes in thenational accounting system adopted by the CBS. However, the time series data from1974/75 have been used since the applications of EViews7 software require at least
30 years data for better statistical estimation and analysis of underlying trends..Sectoral Gross Fixed Capital Formation
The CBS publishes only the government and private gross fixed capital formation.Sectoral gross fixed capital formation is not published. Sectoral gross fixed capitalformations for period of 1974/75 to 2008/09 have been estimated based on itsannual control totals published by the CBS.
Population
Population is calculated using figures from the decennial census of CBS. For theintermediate years interpolation method with compound growth rate has been used...

For population after 2001, medium variant population growth is used as projected inthe CBS website.
Agricultural Crop Area and Inputs
Data relating to the agriculture sector namely, total cropped area (000 hectares),extension of additional Irrigated area ('000 hectares), seed(MT) and chemicalFertilizer (MT) have been collected from the different series of Economic Surveypublished by the Ministry of Finance. Similarly, the rainfall data has been collectedfrom the different series of Statistical Year Books published by the CBS. The WPI ofthe world has been collected from the IMF year book from IMF website. Similarly,Indian CPI and WPI have been taken from the website of the Reserve Bank of India.
Sectoral Employment
Data relating to sector employment are not available in the country. Population
censuses give only the economically active population, which are not actuallyemployment figures. However, the problem of data lacking has made us bound totake economically active population as the proxy of the employment. Thats why;sectoral employment has been estimated based on the sectoral growth rate betweenthe two Nepal Labor Force Surveys of 1998/99 and 2008 for the period of 1991/92 to2008/09 and for prior 1991/92 sectoral employment has been projected backwardbased on the inter-population census growth rate of economically active populationand the sectoral employments in 1991/92 estimated based on the growth rates ofrespective sectors using these two labor force surveys assuming that the intercensus growth rate of economically active population were the inter census growthrate of employment of the respective sectors. It is necessary because there is noother option. Otherwise, methods of interpolation and extrapolation based on twosurveys will give us only linear growth rate of the employment of respective sectors,which may not be realistic. .
