2021-2024 Research Fellows

George Philippidis George Philippidis

For applying the GTAP Model and Data Base for almost three decades, developing new research lines and publishing in the highest quality journals. In the last years, he continuously supported EU domestic support data to the GTAP Data Base and spearheaded the implementation of SDGs in the GTAP context. His excellent work has raised the profile of GTAP-based models in the European Commission policy analysis context.

Maureen Rimmer Maureen Rimmer

For outstanding and innovative theoretical contributions to GTAP and the broader field of CGE analysis.

Niven Winchester Niven Winchester

For his ongoing work and leadership as co-editor of the Journal of Global Economic Analysis, which provides a publication platform for the applied general equilibrium modeling community.

2021 GTAP Firm Heterogeneity Course
"Applied Policy Analysis with Advanced Trade Theories"
October 4 - November 21, 2021


GTAP-HET
Dates/Deadlines (USA Eastern Time Zone)
Applications March 15 – August 1
Acceptance Notifications August
The GTAP-HET Course is a hands-on, fully-online course developed to provide professional economists and Masters/PhD students with the tools and skills necessary to use advanced trade theories in trade policy analysis. During the course, participants will:
  • learn about the Melitz model of heterogenous firms, viewed as a more general version of the Krugman model of monopolistic competition, and Armington model with perfect competition;
  • develop skills to use the GTAP Firm Heterogeneity (GTAP-HET) Model where Armington, Krugman, and Melitz models are nested in the GTAP computable general equilibrium framework;
  • conduct trade policy experiments and interpret simulation results using the GTAP-HET Model in team-based research projects.
