PRISMA - an acronym of Policy Research Instrument for Size-aspects in Macro-economic Analysis - is an economic macro-sector model, which has been developed within the research programme SCALES.

It has been designed in such a way that it produces results consistent with those of CPB, Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis. PRISMA is used for forecasting, scenario building and what-if analyses with respect to government policies and economic shocks. Its time horizon is 3-25 years. The model consists of a kernel and a number of modules. In this report the present version of PRISMA's kernel is documented.
