Course Objective The course will introduce all the tools for constructing and implementing large-scale, dynamic, multinational and multisectoral general equilibrium models for environmental policy analysis. By the end of the course the participants will have acquired detailed knowledge of and extensive hands-on experience in:  | the structure of general equilibrium models for environmental policy analysis, | | developing multinational CGE models, | | introducing dynamics, | | building the database for such models, | | building social accounting matrices, | | modeling energy markets, | | modeling complex nesting structures, | | introducing greenhouse gases, | | modeling tradable pollution permits, | | modeling technical change, | | modeling backstop technologies, | | implementing the model on the computer using the GAMS software, | | formulating scenarios and running policy simulations, | | reporting and interpreting the results, | | linking GAMS and Excel for reading and reporting data. |
Content and Methodology The course uses a practical and very intensive approach to model building. The participants will actually build the model EcoMod step-by-step with guidance from the instructors: from small to large scale and from simple to complex structure. The participants will acquire extensive practical hands-on experience in building a complex, large-scale model. This will allow them to easily implement the first version of their own model using the GAMS codes of EcoMod. For details: Course Content. Sample Daily Schedule Assumed Background This course is only accessible to the alumni of the Practical Course in CGE Modeling (in the EcoMod Modeling School or on the EcoMod on-line courses), or to those who have experience in general equilibrium modeling and in GAMS.
