The Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling training on trade policy for the Government of Pakistan will utilize the Purdue Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model. This training aims to equip policymakers with the skills to analyze the potential economic impacts of trade policy changes using a rigorous and theoretically consistent framework. The GTAP model; developed by Purdue University; is a widely used multi-region CGE model that provides a comprehensive database covering production; consumption; and bilateral trade data for over 80 countries; including Pakistan. The model assumes perfect competition and constant returns to scale; making it ideal for assessing the economy-wide effects of trade reforms and policy changes.During the training; participants will learn how to use the GTAP model to simulate various trade policy scenarios and understand their implications on different sectors of the economy. The training will cover the construction and calibration of the Social Accounting Matrix (SAM); which is essential for CGE modelling; using data from national accounts; input-output tables; and trade statistics. By the end of the training; policymakers will be able to conduct ex-ante analyses of trade policies; helping them make informed decisions that promote economic growth and development in Pakistan. The training will also highlight the strengths and limitations of CGE models; ensuring that participants can effectively interpret and apply the results in their policy-making processes.
