Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models represent a class of economic models that use actual economic data to estimate how an economy might react to changes in policy, technology or other external factors. They are completely-specified models of an economy or a region, including all production activities, factors and institutions, including the modeling of all markets and macroeconomic components, such as investment and savings, balance of payments, and government budget. They are useful in explaining medium to long term trends and structural responses to changes in development policy.
The Centre for Petroleum, Energy Economics and Law (CPEEL) is organizing a CGE Modeling workshop which will be a one-week intensive training provided by leading experts in some of the updated methodologies and tools for policy analysis in the field of development economics. The CGE course will teach participants how to build and use general equilibrium simulation models to analyze the impact of economic policies and macroeconomic shocks on agents and economies. The training has however been postponed indefinitely. We deeply apologize for any inconveniences this may cause you. For more information on the new date, please call +2348103279807.
