The Board approved to name the following as Research Fellows for the period of June 2025 – May 2028:
Jayson Beckman
For his contributions in promoting the GTAP Model through the impressive breadth and depth of his policy research. He has authored and co-authored over 100 hundred peer-reviewed journal articles, government reports, and other publications that utilize the GTAP Model and its variations to address questions of climate, trade, productivity, and other topics. To advance his work, Jayson often modified the model to make it better-suited for less common policy questions, with his inventions often benefiting other researchers.
Ole Boysen
For his contributions to the CGE communities, particularly related to his research on demand system and international trade. He has developed extremely relevant methods to link CGE models to other tolls, including PE models and microsimulations, has contributed to the development of econometric techniques and the development of specific R packages for econometric analysis, and this year, spearheaded the initiative to bring the Pan-African Network for Economic Analysis of Policies (PANAP) Conference Participation Grant for African Researchers into the GTAP Conference.
Emanuele Ferrari
For his contributions to data, including the EU tables currently used in GTAP, as well as a number of single-region SAMs for several African countries. Emanuele has carried out single and multi-country CGE analysis, often focusing on Africa, free trade, and agriculture, and along with Ole, plays an important role in the Pan-African Network for Economic Analysis of Policies, fostering international collaboration and capacity building.
Karen Thierfelder
For being a steady contributor to GTAP through data, models, research, and training for decades.
Luca Salvatici
For being widely recognized for his pivotal role in advancing the use of CGE models in trade policy analysis, foundational contributions to developing and applying the GTAP Model, co-developing the GTAP-VA module for global value chain analysis, and contributing to literature using the GTAP-Energy model, which he used to study carbon leakage and climate policy, and his recent work focused on developing a methodology to micro-found input-output data within the GTAP framework, as well as updating the GTAP-HS extension, which integrates GTAP with high-resolution tariff data.
