Abstract
We evaluate the past, present, and future of policy modeling from both qualitative and quantitative perspectives. We do this through an extensive review and analysis of papers published in the Journal of Policy Modeling between 1978 and 2018. Over the years the focus of the policy modeling literature (and the Journal) changed. The changes were in research topics, approaches, techniques, theories, methods, and analytical tools as required for the rigorous analysis of complex and dynamic economic phenomena in policy modeling.
