SCHOOL OF MODELING

COURSES

          1. Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Modeling
            This is a training in economy wide modeling of the real world. The course introduces participants to static CGE models and GAMs software. The course include initial introduction to the database for the CGE; the aggregated Social Accounting Matrix (SAM). [Read more]
          2. Intermediate Computable General Equilibrium; The intermediate CGE model is an expanded version of the one in the introduction course. This is an open economy model with more productive sectors, more institutions and detailed sectoral equations. It’s plausible, that participants of this course should have accomplished the course on “introduction to static CGE model” or should have exposure to CGE models and GAMs. [Read more]
          3. Advanced Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Modeling; This is a Dynamic CGE model which is an extension of the intermediate CGE model. In this model, we introduce dynamic equations in the large Dynamic CGE model.The course also include importing large Social Accounting Matrices into GAMs and customizing it to a large Dynamic CGE model. It’s advisable, to graduate from the intermediate CGE course before taking on an advanced Dynamic CGE course. [Read more]
          4. Introduction to Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Modeling; Introduction to Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Modeling
            The course is designed for policy analysts and researchers in government, central banks, PhD students, academic staff and international organisations. The course covers basic steps of building a DSGE model from scratch to a level of introducing shocks and policy simulation. [Read more]
          5. Advanced Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) Modeling; This is an advanced course of the introduction DSGE Model. It is a hands-on training which introduces advanced techniques of advanced DSGE modeling. The course introduces advanced calibration and parameter estimation techniques. The participants of this course will acquire skills of customizing any DSGE model to a particular country.  [Read more]
          6. Introduction to I-O/SUT Multiplier Modeling and Analysis; Introduction to I-O/SUT Multiplier Modeling and Analysis
            Introduction to SUT/SAM multiplier model analysis course is rich in sectoral analysis and captures the interlinkages between production sectors, agents, institutions and global economy. This course explicitly shows the format and economic blocks used in developing I-O and SUTs.  The course discusses the theoretical formulation if multiplier models and their applications on Input-Output (I-O) Tables and Supply and Use Tables (SUT). [Read more]
          7. Advanced SUT/SAM Multiplier Modeling and Analysis; Advanced SUT/SAM Multiplier Modeling and Analysis
            The advanced course on SUT/SAM multiplier model analysis is an extension of the introduction course on I-O/SUT course. This course introduces advanced skills in SUT/SAM modeling and also introduces labor market analysis. The course also introduces an additive method of decomposing the SUT/SAM multipliers to trace the sources of economic growth.[Read more]
          8. Advanced Timeseries Econometric Modeling and Forecasting in Eviews; The advanced Econometric course is an extension of the introduction course.  The course is intended for policy makers, researchers, students of applied economics and institution who intend to advance their career in applied Econometric modeling for research and policy guidance. [Read more]
          9. Introduction to Micro-Econometric modeling in Stata; The introduction to micro-econometrics also referred to as Micro-simulation course is intended for policy makers, researchers, students of applied economics and institution who intend to begin their career of using micro-econometric modeling. The course is based on the use of STATA software and makes use of cross-sectional. [Read more]
          10. Advanced Micro-Econometric modeling in Stata; Advanced micro-econometrics course is an extension of the introduction course with the following key additions; panel data analysis, impact analysis, extended large datasets and advanced steps of building micro-simulation models in Stata.  The course in intended for participants who intend to advanced their skills in modeling and impact analysis. [Read more]
          11. Introduction to Timeseries Econometric Modeling in Eviews; Introduction to Econometric course is intended for policy makers, researchers, students of applied economics and institution who intend to begin their career of using Econometric modeling for research and policy guidance. The course focuses on the use of published econometric theory by putting it in practice on applied country specific data. [Read more]
