Textbook of Computable General Equilibrium Modelling: Programming and Simulations. The teaching models follow the corresponding GAMS formulations.
Step 1
Choose the model
Each model keeps its own economics. The Control Room only exposes controls that belong to the selected model.
Step 2
Read the model before changing it
Economic guide
Notation first
How to read the symbols
Variables and parameters
What the symbols mean
Follow the adjustment
The economic story
Step 3
Set up the economy and data
Scenario target labels
Economy structure
Data source
Where should the benchmark come from?
Step 4
Understand the closure
Step 5
Build the counterfactual
Available controls
What do you want to change?
Step 6
Run the experiment
Your model, data choice, closure, and policy scenario are now a reproducible CGE-Core experiment. Copy the Python, download it, or carry the complete experiment into a Colab-ready notebook.
