Global Macroeconomic Software Licenses

The contractor must provide five transferable user licenses (with an option for up to five additional licenses) for a global macro-econometric model software that permits CNBE staff to simulate global economic and financial market shocks by country and macroeconomic sector, as well as across countries. The software must have the capability for users to input and execute idiosyncratic global and country-specific economic and financial system scenario stress tests, conduct sensitivity analysis of transmission channels, and provide ready access to results. The contractor must also provide reports including narrative discussion of baseline projection and stress scenarios, access to and ability to download, store, and archive global and country-specific data, training for users, technical support via telephone or electronic access to a helpdesk and staff analysts, periodic (monthly or quarterly) staff-developed scenarios and model results, regularly published analytical reports, and regular usage reports. The model must cover all G-20 countries, at least 350 macroeconomic variables per country, and have a forecast horizon of at least four years with at least monthly updates. The contractor must provide an API for communication with Python or R.
