Abstract
In this paper we propose an approach to solving multiple criteria macroeconomic policy problems and report on an application using an existing econometric model. This approach involves the use of a mathematical programming formulation of the macroeconomic policy problem with multiple objective functions. The multiple objectives are resolved by a man-machine interactive solution strategy. This approach was implemented in order to analyze macroeconomic problems in Finland.

This paper describes the results of a laboratory experiment to compare from a human decision-maker's point of view the performance of the interactive methods for multicriterion optimization recently developed by Geoffrion and Benayoun et al. (STEP-method), and a simple trial-and-error procedure for solving the multiple criteria problem.
