Advanced CGE Modelling
Material for self-learning phase
The aim of the self-learning phase is to ensure that all studends have a solid understanding of the basics of CGE modelling,
with a focus on the GTAP model and data base. This side lists some useful resources to gain or refresh this knowledge.
Basics of CGE Modelling
The following slides/videos by W. Britz use similar or identical mnemonics as CGEBox. They are taken from a master class taught at Bonn University:
- Introduction to CGE modelling, Slides, Video on Slides
- Production function in CGE, Slides, Video on Slides
- Factor supply in CGE, Slides, Video on Slides
- Final demand in CGE, Slides, Video on Slides
- Income distribution in CGE, Slides, Video on Slides
- Trade in CGE, Slides, Video on Slides
Slides/PDFs by Scott McDonald on selected aspects of CGE modelling and underlying theory:
Note: Technical implementation in GLOBE/STAGE is different than in CGEBox. GLOBE (as a multi-regional CGE) differs in some aspects from GTAP Standard.
YouTube resources:
- YouTube tutorials on building a CGE model by PEP
- YouTube tutorials on CGE modelling by Antoine Bouet
- YouTube tutorials by IFRI on CGE modelling in GAMS
Note: especially the technical implementation of the presented model might be pretty different from CGEBox.
New trade theory
The following links might be useful in the context of day 4 where the Melitz model will be used by one of the groups:
- Krugman New Trade Theory
- Melitz Model and its extenstions
- Firm level Perspective by Elhanan Helpman
GTAP model and GTAP Data base
- GTAP YouTube channel: conference presentations and tutorials geaered towards GEMPACK users (attention: we are using GAMS and other tools!)
- From this Channel: Webinar on the GTAP Data base
