Abstract
A considerable part of recent research as well as of teaching in the field of quantitative economics in the Netherlands has been grouped around the objective of supplying tools for economic policy. This applies to short-term as well as to long-term economic policy and to policies for developed as well as for under-developed economies. The elements needed for such research cover most of the subjects traditionally included in teaching programmes of this kind, but give them a certain twist and direction. It is the intention of this article to give a brief survey of teaching and research activities as they now exist in this country, more particularly at the Netherlands School of Economics, while indicating the links with practical activities in the field of economic policy.
