Abstract
In the previous chapter it has been asserted that models are one possible structured method — and certainly not the only one — for assessing the impacts of a certain policy measure. Clearly, impact assessment requires a careful estimation of all expected consequences of a stimulus (e.g., a rise in gasoline tax, a new underground system) on the behaviour of individuals, groups or society as a whole. In order to generate testable results, very often researchers have to resort to statistical and econometric techniques.
