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, Slides1, Video on Slides2
- Production function in CGE, Slides3, Video on Slides4
- Factor supply in CGE, Slides5, Video on Slides6
- Final demand in CGE, Slides7, Video on Slides8
- Income distribution in CGE, Slides9, Video on Slides10
- Trade in CGE, Slides11, Video on Slides12
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 PEP15
- YouTube tutorials on CGE modelling by Antoine Bouet16
- YouTube tutorials by IFRI on CGE modelling in GAMS17
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 Theory18
- Melitz Model and its extenstions19
- Firm level Perspective20 by Elhanan Helpman
GTAP model and GTAP Data base
- GTAP YouTube channel21: conference presentations and tutorials geaered towards GEMPACK users (attention: we are using GAMS and other tools!)
- From this Channel: Webinar on the GTAP Data base22
