There are significant potential benefits for Australia. First, it could lead to more effective policymaking, with an understanding of how policy in one branch of the government can affect other sectors that have not been considered before. For example, changes in fiscal policy can affect not just growth, but also unemployment, inflation, and the income distribution. Second, this project will make a contribution to the research training of new macroeconomists in Australia: we will train three PhD students in the very latest methods. We also will organize a conference and bring the very top economists in the world to work with researchers here, and to consider issues surrounding the Australian economy.

这对澳大利亚有很大的潜在好处。首先，它可能导致更有效的政策制定，了解一个政府部门的政策如何影响以前从未考虑过的其他部门。例如，财政政策的变化不仅会影响经济增长，还会影响失业、通货膨胀和收入分配。其次，该项目将为澳大利亚新宏观经济学家的研究培训做出贡献：我们将培训三名博士生使用最新的方法。我们还将组织一次会议，邀请世界上最顶尖的经济学家与这里的研究人员合作，并讨论围绕澳大利亚经济的问题。
