Introduction to CGE Modelling with GAMS - Basic Model

Introduction to CGE Modelling with GAMS: Basic Model [Course Code: CGE1] Eruygur Academy and Consulting

This online course (in English) is designed for those who have no any prior knowledge of GAMS and are new to general equilibrium theory and modeling. The course combines theoretical concepts and hands-on computer work including an introduction to GAMS software.

Participants will be provided with an official GAMS Release 47.0.2 license (valid for 1 week).

Since CGE modeling is a difficult topic, we designed our training based on a book: “Textbook of Computable General Equilibrium Modeling – Programming and Simulations”. The book is written for beginners and easy to understand. It explains the basic features of CGE modelling.

In this course we develop the simplest possible CGE model (Simple Model), with one household, two firms, two goods and two factors of production. Since almost all CGE models used for empirical policy analysis are extensions of this simple CGE model, it is crucial to understand how this model is constructed.

At the end of the training, 10-minute interactive-consulting sessions will be provided for students who are interested.
