GTAP-HET Course
COURSE DESCRIPTION
Description:
The GTAP-HET Course is a hands-on, fully-online course developed to provide professional economists and Masters/PhD students with the tools and skills necessary to use advanced trade theories in trade policy analysis. During the course, participants will:
• learn about the Melitz model of heterogenous firms, viewed as a more general version of the Krugman model of monopolistic competition, and Armington model with perfect competition
• develop skills to use the GTAP Firm Heterogeneity (GTAP-HET) Model where Armington, Krugman, and Melitz models are nested in the GTAP computable general equilibrium framework
• conduct trade policy experiments and interpret simulation results using the GTAP-HET Model in team-based research projects
Registration in this course is subject to the Purdue University Online Non-Credit Policies.
