EcoMod Modeling School Europe 2012

Overview
Venue

Date:

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Free University of Brussels

42 avenue F. Roosevelt

Brussels, 1050

Belgium

Intensive hands-on courses in general equilibrium, trade policy modeling, DSGE, macro-econometric, and VAR modeling using GAMS, TROLL, Eviews, and FAME. Introductory and advanced levels.

The training is fully practical and provides 'hands-on' experience through intensive use of exercises on the computer.

EcoMod offers a limited number of partial scholarships to candidates from developing countries and transition economies. To submit your application, please click here. The deadline to apply for a scholarship is two months before the beginning of the course

The following courses will be offered:

Practical General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the introductory level. For those who have little or no experience in modeling and in GAMS

Advanced Techniques in General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the advanced level. The course will focus on multinational and multisectoral modeling with imperfect competition and intertemporal dynamics. This course is only accessible to those who have some experience in general equilibrium modeling and to the alumni of the EcoMod Modeling School or on-line courses.

Environmental CGE Modeling with GAMS

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the advanced level. The course will focus on multinational and multisectoral modeling and focus specifically on environmental issues. This course is only accessible to those who have some experience in general equilibrium modeling and to the alumni of the EcoMod Modeling School or on-line courses.

Introduction to Macroeconometric Modeling using EViews

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the introductory level. This course is tailored for staff developing or using small or medium size macro models and staff involved in forecasting and policy analysis in the central banks, ministries and international institutions.

Macroeconometric Modeling using TROLL

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the advanced level. This course is especially tailored for staff involved in forecasting and policy analysis in the central banks, ministries and international institutions.
The course will use the MULTIMOD model of the International Monetary Fund and the QUEST model of the European Commission.

Global VAR modeling using the GVAR Toolbox 1.0

July 16, 2012 - July 18, 2012

The GVAR model is a compact model of the world economy designed to explicitly model the economic and financial interdependencies at national and international levels.

Overlapping Generation General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the advanced level. This course is only accessible to those who have some experience in dynamic general equilibrium modeling with GAMS and to the EcoMod alumni.

OLG models are very useful in the analysis of a large number of important policy issues such as government tax and expenditure, social security reform, welfare state, aging, international trade, demographic issues, fertility, education, human capital, growth, migration, labor market, environmental issues, intergenerational equity, etc.

Financial General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

Intensive course at the advanced level. This advanced course will introduce all the tools for constructing and implementing financial general equilibrium models for policy analysis. This course is only accessible to those who have some experience in general equilibrium modeling and to the alumni of the EcoMod Modeling School or on-line courses.

Modeling and Forecasting Time Series Using EViews

July 16, 2012 - July 20, 2012

The course reviews the most important univariate time series models for the analysis of macro and financial data.

Modeling for Public Finance Issues

July 16, 2012 - July 18, 2012

As the current global economic and financial crisis shows, government plays a major role in the economy.

In order to monitor the economy in an uncertain and rapidly changing world, to take the best decisions and to assess their impacts, Ministries of Finance need state-of-the-art modeling techniques.
