Warning The software for the US model changed beginning with the October 30, 2011, version. All flow variables are now at quarterly rates rather than at annual rates as before. The software is a subset of that used for the multicountry models. Ignore any country except the United States when setting up your job. Only the US model by itself is being solved. The base dataset is YAEBASE with a password of USBASE. This is a change from earlier versions where the base dataset was BASE with a password of BASE. There is also a trick needed if you want to use a prediction period other than the default forecast period and you want the new prediction period to begin other than in the first quarter of the year. See About US Model User Datasets for more details. |
