The following courses will be offered:

Introduction to General Equilibrium Modeling Using GAMS

July 7, 2014 - July 11, 2014

This is an intensive, introductory-level course designed for individuals with little or no prior experience in modeling and GAMS. While the course is entry-level, it does assume a basic understanding of theoretical concepts and mathematical skills. Participants should be comfortable with foundational economic principles and basic mathematics to fully benefit from the hands-on training provided.

Advanced Techniques in General Equilibrium Modeling using GAMS

July 7, 2014 - July 11, 2014

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.

Energy and Environmental CGE Modeling Using GAMS

July 7, 2014 - July 11, 2014

Intensive course at the advanced level. The course will focus on modeling energy and greenhouse gas emissions. This course is only accessible to those who have some experience in general equilibrium modeling and to the alumni of the EcoMod School.

Macroeconometric Modeling, Forecasting, and Policy Analysis Using EViews

July 7, 2014 - July 11, 2014

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

Quantitative Methods for Fiscal and Budgetary Policies

July 7, 2014 - July 11, 2014

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.
