The ultimate objectives of Nemesis are to develop capabilities to analyze public policy issues which require an understanding of the spatial interdependence of economic, social, and environmental variables. A focal point will be the modelling of spatial interactions between the environment and socioeconomic processes in order to quantify aspects essential to evaluating alternatives for sustained development of the Brazilian economy and Amazon region. Of great interest also is the application of statistical methods to analysis of spatially referenced data, forecasting techniques, and spatial interpolation in the estimation, inference, and validation of econometric models (few periods, many regions).
More specific goals are:
Creation of computer programs to make this information system accessible to broad network and of user-friendly programs to disseminate techniques and the results of analyses, particularly by disseminating use of GIS.
