Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP)
The Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) is a global network of researchers and policy makers conducting quantitative analysis of international policy issues. GTAP is coordinated by the Center for Global Trade Analysis in Purdue University's Department of Agricultural Economics.Current Highlights

The GTAP Short Course is an intensive training course in the economics of global policy analysis. The five-day, onsite course is supplemented with five online preparatory modules that introduce the data, core economic behaviors, and computational implementation of GTAP. Each preparatory module consists of two hours of online content delivered as lectures and demonstrations, and includes tools for both self-evaluation and for feedback from the instruction team.

Post-Doctoral Research Associate in the Economics of Land and Water Use
This position is part of Purdue’s initiative in Global to Local Analysis of Systems Sustainability (GLASS: https://mygeohub.org/groups/glass) and this individual will report directly to the PI: Thomas Hertel. It will involve working with an inter-disciplinary team of researchers seeking to understand the local environmental stresses emerging as a consequence of global change, as well as the consequences of local responses to these stressors. The focus is on land and water resources used in agriculture.
The economic modeling undertaken by this individual will be spatially explicit and seeks to characterize economic and biophysical relationships at the level of individual grid cells, all nested within a global economic model.
The start date for this full-time appointment: January 1, 2020. This will be an annual appointment, renewable for up to three years.
Purdue University is an EOE/AA employer. All individuals, including minorities, women, individuals with disabilities, and veterans are encouraged to apply.

2020 GTAP Preferential Trade Agreements Course "Applied Policy Analysis: Course on Preferential Trade Agreements" May 4 - June 12, 2020 |
|||||||
|
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. |

Behind the Research: GTAP
When people from more than 40 countries meet at the annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis — whether in Warsaw, Melbourne, Shanghai or West Lafayette — they share a common language developed at Purdue. Clarity and transparency are hallmarks of this language, because the work is used to shape important policy decisions across the world.

2020-1 GTAP 101 Course "Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Modeling" March 16 – May 3, 2020 |
|||||||
|
|
Coursework based on: Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Models, 2e by Mary E. Burfisher |
||||||
|
The objective of GTAP 101 is to engage participants in an active, team-based process of learning about the GTAP CGE model and its use in applied economic policy analysis. The curriculum is geared to advanced undergraduates, graduates and professionals. Following the course, participants will be entry-level modelers and more informed consumers of CGE-based analyses. |
