The Regional Development Group at IIASA and the Regional Institute for Economic Planning of Tuscany (IRPET) are currently engaged in a Case Study of the use of system analytic methods aimed at medium‐term forecasting, impact analysis, policy evaluation and planning, related to the Tuscany region in Italy. In this paper, we give an overview of the individual elements of that models system, based on a biregional input‐output model, and of the interrelations between them. We also propose and provide a common frame of reference for the work on the various sub‐models currently being developed or planned. Finally we will dwell on a possible final structure of the system including appropriate computer software.
