Matt Saunders

economist Australia

Matt Saunders is an economist known for his critical analysis of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models, particularly in the context of Australian economic policy. Alongside Dr. Richard Denniss, he has co-authored a paper discussing the limitations of CGE modelling, emphasizing that while these models may appear mathematically rigorous, they often rely heavily on subjective inputs determined by the modeller. This perspective challenges the perceived objectivity of economic modelling and highlights the complexities and oversimplifications inherent in attempting to predict economic outcomes.
