## What it is
MAKRO is a large-scale macroeconomic model of the Danish economy developed by DREAM for the Danish Ministry of Finance, written in GAMS with Python tooling. It simulates short- and long-run effects of economic policy initiatives and ships with a stylized baseline for marginal policy experiments.

## Use cases
- simulate the impact of tax changes on the Danish economy
- analyze long-run effects of government spending policy
- run marginal policy experiments without calibrating a macro model
- model labor market and wage bargaining dynamics
- compute fiscal sustainability indicators like the HBI
- study structural employment and productivity transitions

## When to choose
- you need an empirically grounded model of the Danish economy for policy analysis
- you work with GAMS-based CGE-style macroeconomic models
- you want a maintained open-source macro model with regular data updates
- you are a researcher or ministry analyst simulating Danish fiscal policy

## When to avoid
- you need a model of an economy other than Denmark
- you want a ready-made forecast rather than a baseline for marginal experiments
- you cannot run GAMS or lack access to a GAMS license
- you need a simple spreadsheet-style economic calculator
