2021-2 GTAP 101 Course "Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Modeling in the GTAP Framework" September 6 - October 24, 2021 |
|||||||
|
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. |

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. |
