Colab notebooks

The complete v0.8.0 notebook course is available below. Each notebook can be read directly in this documentation site or opened in Google Colab.

Note

If you just want to start immediately, open notebook 01 in Colab.

Notebook course

#	Notebook	What it does	Read here	Run in Colab
01	Your first CGE	Solve the bundled Standard CGE benchmark and inspect production, prices, trade, household demand, and closure.	Read
02	Policy experiments	Follow the core workflow: benchmark → independent scenario → economic shock → new equilibrium → comparison.	Read
03	Bring your own SAM	Inspect a social accounting matrix, verify balance, and construct StandardCGE from a SAM.	Read
04	CAMCGE	Use the published Cameroon 1987 replication as a first-class model and reproduce a counterfactual.	Read
05	IFPRI Standard CGE	Run the independently authored synthetic public economy and execute a named IFPRI scenario.	Read
06	Build a model	Explore functional Python authoring and the experimental deterministic .cge.md specification.	Read
90	Internals and advanced access	Inspect the retained Pyomo/PyCGE machinery after learning the practitioner interface.	Read

Sequence

The recommended order is:

1. notebook 01 — first equilibrium

2. notebook 02 — policy experiments

3. notebook 03 — your own SAM

4. notebook 04 — CAMCGE

5. notebook 05 — IFPRI Standard CGE

6. notebook 06 — build a model

7. notebook 90 — internals

In Colab, each canonical notebook begins with only:

%pip install -q "https://github.com/miraflor/CGE-core/releases/download/v0.8.0/cge_core-0.8.0-py3-none-any.whl"

That cell downloads the compact v0.8.0 release wheel rather than the entire GitHub repository. After that, the notebooks stay at the modelling level. Solver discovery and default first-use setup are internal to CGE-Core.

Earlier notebook filenames live in historical Git tags rather than in the active course directory.
