Goals
To introduce participants to a standardized framework for conducting global trade analysis
in an applied general equilibrium setting
To provide participants with ample hands-on training with
software that has been tailored to global trade analysis
To give participants the opportunity to interact with economists working on global trade
and resource use issues, and become part of an international network
Part I is a series of several modules to be delivered online and via DVD. By working
through this material in advance of the on-site course, participants will become familiar with
the theory behind GTAP, the standard GTAP notation as well as the course software.
Part II:
On-site intensive training
Part II is held on-site at the location of the course. This intensive short course consists of
a mix of daily lectures, lab assignments, and informal discussions designed to introduce
participants to the basic features of the model and data base. These activities culminate in a
major application undertaken by small groups and presented on the final day of the course. Each
group is assigned two instructors who are intimately familiar with their project to act as
resource persons. Participants leave with the capability of designing, conducting, and
analyzing their own simulations.
