Abstract

This article discusses the use of Grid technology to integrate the data, computation and presentation elements of an empirical economic modelling process. We achieve this by using a form of statistical data fusion developed in the poverty mapping literature to address a substantive issue: determining United Kingdom ethnic minority welfare. Elements of this methodology appear to be well suited to such grid-enablement, and we present and illustrate our implementation using the context of this microdata application.
