Validation

Validation#

CGE-Core uses multiple benchmark families rather than relying on a single example model.

Benchmark

What it checks

Hosoe / GAMS

Equation correspondence and numerical regression

IFPRI Standard CGE

Independent implementation, calibration and policy scenarios

CAMCGE

Replication of a published CGE equilibrium and experiments

These benchmarks test different things. Agreement with one model does not by itself establish agreement with another specification.
