Core Contents | The course will introduce participants to CGE modeling, providing them with practical grounding in IFPRIs
Standard CGE model that can be used to investigate a range of policy issues. It will also provide
a launch-pad for those wishing to take their modeling capabilities to more advanced levels.
The program includes two main activities: (1) a weeklong in-person training course; and (2) a
post-training hands-on research assignment. While the assignment does not offer direct financial
incentive to the participants, it plays a crucial role in reinforcing the training course. Participants
will have the opportunity to choose a topic of their own interest for the assignment and will receive
ongoing guidance from researchers at IFPRI.
