The following courses will be on offer:
Practical General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS
July 11, 2011 - July 15, 2011
Intensive course at the introductory level. For those who have little or no experience in modeling and in GAMS
Financial General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS
July 18, 2011 - July 22, 2011
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 18, 2011 - July 22, 2011
The course reviews the most important univariate time series models for the analysis of macro and financial data.
Modeling for Public Finance Issues
July 11, 2011 - July 13, 2011
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.
Advanced Techniques in General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS
July 18, 2011 - July 22, 2011
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 11, 2011 - July 15, 2011
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.
Overlapping Generation General Equilibrium Modeling with GAMS
July 18, 2011 - July 22, 2011
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.
