Detailed Process of Building MFMSA_MNE Model in Back-end Programming

The process involves preparing data, building and debugging a model, writing and estimating equations, making assumptions, compiling and solving the model, adjusting the front-end, ensuring data consistency, and observing properties through an iterative process. It includes specific steps such as collecting relevant data, creating data, extending exogenous variables, solving the model, and observing simulation properties.

7. MFMSA_MNE MODEL BUILD PROCESS GUIDE: UPDATE EXAMPLE 1 Change history end date to 2023 (currently 2022) Questions to consider before proceeding: Is the change in history or forecast? Where can we put in this change (macroeconomic account, file .)? Does the new value have the intended unit and scale? Equations and identities involving this this variable in our model? Expected change and adjustment?

8. MFMSA_MNE MODEL BUILD PROCESS GUIDE: UPDATE EXAMPLE 2 Adjust an identity: remove Revenue Sharing between Provincial and Local under Provincial Account Questions to consider before proceeding: Is the change in history or forecast? Where can we put in this change (macroeconomic account, file .)? Does the new value have the intended unit and scale? Equations and identities involving this this variable in our model? Expected change and adjustment?

9. MFMSA_MNE MODEL BUILD PROCESS GUIDE: UPDATE EXAMPLE 3 Adjust an identity: adjust CIT to just a fixed share of GDP at Factor Cost Questions to consider before proceeding: Is the change in history or forecast? Where can we put in this change (macroeconomic account, file .)? Does the new value have the intended unit and scale? Equations and identities involving this this variable in our model? Expected change and adjustment?
