The research has focused on completing the estimation phase of the Hermes model, its historical simulation and on the elaboration of a new databank with a view to adapting the information in the former databank to the new 1980 national account base.

The price-wages block is an important one in the Hermes model because of the great number of variables to be modeled and the interrelation between said variables. Obviously such a number of variables to be modeled needed an appropriate data bank and is bound to include coefficients derived from input-output matrixes and from the origin and destination matrices of capital goods, which have been used as weighting factors for the formation of different types of prices.
