A government is considering a new policy to increase the national minimum wage by 20%. Before implementation, policymakers use a macroeconomic model to simulate the potential effects. The model predicts that while 1.5 million low-income workers will receive a significant pay raise, approximately 100,000 jobs in price-sensitive sectors like retail and hospitality may be eliminated. Based on this scenario, evaluate the primary value of using this macroeconomic model for the policymakers. Why is the model a crucial tool in this decision-making process, even when it presents conflicting outcomes?
