The Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) is a research program initiated in 1992 to provide the economic research community with a global economic dataset for use in the quantitative analyses of international economic issues. The Project’s objectives include the provision of a documented, publicly available, global, general equilibrium data base, and to conduct seminars on a regular basis to in...

A The making of projections often requires an economy-wide perspective, and the estimation of consumer demands at the international level. In this paper, an implicit, directly additive demand system (AIDADS) is estimated using cross-country data on consumer expenditures from two different sources: the International Comparison Programme (ICP), and the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP)....

In static applied general equilibrium models, the exogenous/endogenous split between variables (or closure) is used to infer the time frame over which the effects of a shock are simulated. This paper introduces a long-run closure for the GTAP model (Hertel and Tsigas, 1997) and uses this closure to simulate and compare the short-run and long-run effects of Asia-Pacific trade liberalisation. The...

The paper documents the energy-economy dataset GTAP-EG which is based on the general Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) database and OECD International Energy Agency (IEA) statistics. The GTAP-EG dataset is developed in collaboration with the researchers at Purdue University, who created a GEMPACK version of the energy dataset. In contrast to their work, the GTAP-EG is implemented in the GAMS...

The agriculture directorate is using a modified version of the GTAP model to analyse the impact of agriculture and non-agriculture reform. This analysis is part of an overall project that analyses policy reform using a "top-down" approach that integrating a variety of modeling techniques. Global and regional analysis is carried out using general equilibrium (modified GTAP), while at the other e...

The making of projections often requires an economy-wide perspective, and the estimation of consumer demands at the international level. In this paper, an implicit, directly additive demand system (AIDADS) is estimated using crosscountry data on consumer expenditures from the International Comparison Program (ICP), and then from Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) data. The two data sets are f...

Global models of agricultural trade have a long and distinguished history. The introduction of the GTAP data base and modeling project represented a significant advance forward as it put modelers and trade policy analysts on common ground. After an initial generation of GTAP based modeling of agricultural trade policy using the standard modeling framework, individual researchers have begun intr...

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are ubiquitous in energy and environmental economics research. Recent technological advancements in electricity fuels, generation technologies, and environmental policies which target specific generation technologies (e.g., emission regulations) have motivated detailed CGE modeling of the electricity sector. Modeling these issues requires distinct ele...

Software testing is required to detect the faults and to ensure the quality of the software under development. Usually, test suites are used to evaluate the software system during the software development cycle. But often test suites contain more redundant test cases due to overlapped test objectives. So, the test-suite reduction is an important step to reduce the number of test cases so as to ...
