                     GTAP-E model version 7 (GTAPv7-e)                              
=================================================================================
File: gtapv7-e.zip
Description: 
 This zip file contains the GEMPACK-based code of the GTAPv7-e model and files to 
 run GTAP-E model simulations outside of RunGTAP.

 The theory behind the standard GTAP model is described in:   
    Erwin L. Corong, Thomas W. Hertel, Robert A. McDougall, Marinos E. Tsigas, 
    and Dominique van der Mensbrugghe. The Standard GTAP Model, Version 7.

-------------------
Running simulations
-------------------
(E) To run simulations:
    (E1) Open a cmf file (e.g., GTAPv7-e.cmf or ctax.cmf)
    (E2) Open a DOS Box 
         - In TABmate: click Programs, then select DOS command prompt
         - Then, in the DOS box, type: rungtapv7.bat 
    (E3) Verify (in the DOS box) that the simulation run has completed 
         without error, or look at the log file (e.g., gtapv7-e.log or 
         ctax.log)
    (E4) Open the results files
         - Solution files (*.sl4):
           - Price homogeneity (numeraire) simulation: gtapv7-e.sl4  
           - Global tariff elimination simulation: ctax.sl4
         - Welfare decomposition (*-WEL.HAR):
           - Global tariff elimination simulation: ctax-WEL.har
