Abstract

SNAPSHOT is a programming model (of the type often found in the Development literature) of the Australian economy. This paper contains (i) a brief critical overview of the SNAPSHOT theory and (ii) an illustrative application. Forecasts, derived from work by the Bureau of Industry Economics and the IMPACT project. of industry technology in 1990 are wed as an input to SNAPSHOT. The model results then provide a bash for discussing some of the implications of ‐technical change for industry growth prospects and employment prospects by occupation.
