Abstract
The process of Slovenian approaching the EU demands the assessment of long- and short-term advantages and disadvantages (costs and benefits). Such assessments are a basis for rational decisions and are being made by both partners in tge proces. But even when the political decision is made a number of questions remain open; all of them being important in negotiations of the integration (concerning preliminary solutions and individual steps in the process of approaching the EU and the duration of steps, etc.) and in making the economy , financial system, the state and othe subject familiar with the period of transition and afterwards. Basically, approaching the EU is a structural problem: the question is posed what will happen in individual sectors (agriculture, transport, financial services, energy sector, etc.) and what consequences the changes in some sectors will have for other sectors and how particular macroeconomic aggregates (employment, foreign exchange, balance-of-payments adaptation, regional and social development) will be affected. If we want to analyse such processes, we need the quantitative tools with which it is possible to assess the consequences of changes in the relationship with the EU (for GDP, prices, investment, etc.). Besides aggregate assessments, sectoral disaggregate assessments are essential as well. The latter cannot be avoided in the second set of the above-mentioned questions.
Consequently, the basic aim of the project is the development of the methodological bases and analytical tools which will enable us to assess the effects of the economic and political opening of Slovenia. By means of the establishment of the information bases, the development of micro- and macroeconomic tools and quantification of possible scenarios of the opening we want to contribute to a more objective/rational decision-making of the holders of the economic policy.
