2021 Short Course in Dynamic Global Trade Analysis "Applied General Equilibrium Analysis using a Dynamic Multi-Region Model" October 11-15, 2021 | West Lafayette, Indiana, USA |
|||||||||||
Purdue University |
|
||||||||||
|
The objective of this course is to introduce participants to dynamic economic analysis in an applied general equilibrium setting. This course is designed to provide participants with ample hands-on training with software that has been tailored for undertaking analysis using a dynamic recursive model. Participants will interact with economists working on global trade and environmental issues using a dynamic model. The end goal of the course is for participants to leave with the capability of conducting and analyzing their own dynamic simulations. |

The GTAP Short Course is an intensive training course in the economics of global policy analysis. The course is delivered in three phases. Phase one is entirely delivered online, designed to give students practical experience using the software environment for solving GTAP models and to review economic components of the model in a partial setting. Phase two is the onsite training, building from the onsite period and is comprised of lectures, labs, and discussion on the construction of and analysis with a global economy model with bilateral trade and relevant policy instruments. Finally, students are given the opportunity to prepare their own global economy investigation and gain the experience in scenario design, model tools, and analysis techniques. |

2021 GTAP Preferential Trade Agreements Course "Applied Policy Analysis: Course on Preferential Trade Agreements" May 10 - June 18, 2021 |
|||||||
|
Coursework based on: Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Models by Mary E. Burfisher |
||||||
|
The GTAP PTA Course is designed to provide professionals and students with hands-on, applied training in the analysis of preferential trade agreements (PTAs) using the GTAP computable general equilibrium model. The objectives of the GTAP PTA course are to provide participants with an opportunity to develop their applied skills in the design of PTA experiments, the implementation of changes in tariff and non-tariff barriers, and the analysis of model results. |
