GTAP Models: Hands-on Simulation with AnalyseGE

You can download AnalyseGE and the associated Hands-on Introduction to AnalyseGE from the CoPS website, and listen to Ken Pearson go over sections 3.1 to 3.2.

Eliminating One Import Tariff
In this hands-on simulation we consider the following GTAP simulation.

The data is a 3x3 aggregation of the version 4 preliminary data.

The aggregation recognizes three commodities food, manufactures (mnfcs) and services (svces) and three regions, Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), European Union (EU) and Rest of the World (ROW).

The simulation is one in which the import tariff on food from Sub-Saharan Africa to the European Union is completely eliminated. The shock is 11.5375 per cent to the power of this import tariff.

Below we describe how AnalyseGE can be used to analyze some of the results of this application. We aim to give sufficient detail to enable a reader who has installed the AnalyseGE package to follow the analysis on their computer. The simulation results are in the file SIM1.SL4 supplied with the AnalyseGE demonstration package. Start AnalyseGE running and load the results of this application (that is, load the Solution file SIM1.SL4 supplied with the AnalyseGE demonstration package).
