It is often difficult to accommodate judgmental information together with quantitative data in an economic model. One approach is to embed human decision-makers as role players within a simulation exercise. Their behavior is recorded by the computer system, becoming a part of the modeling process. We consider some of the human interface requirements to accomplish this integration, a methodology using supervised linkage of spreadsheet with DYNAMO models, and an example of its application toward modeling the 1992 economic unification of Europe.
