| Alan A. Powell Award |

Each year at the GTAP Advisory Board meeting we present an award to one of the members of the Board in recognition of outstanding service. This award is in honor of one of the Founding Members of the Advisory Board, and the intellectual grandfather of GTAP - Alan A. Powell.
The 2011 recipient of the Alan A. Powell Award is Hsin Huang, an individual who embodies the spirit of GTAP through his support of the GTAP Data Base and improved agricultural policy analysis. Hsin has been a member of the GTAP Network since attending the short course (and first ever canoe trip) in 2003. In 2004, Hsin was selected as a GTAP Research Fellow for his important contributions to the agricultural support database used in the GTAP Data Base. Hsin continues to supervise the process of generating the agriculture Producer Support Estimate (PSE) database for OECD member countries. In 2009, he oversaw updates to the classification that permitted better representation of policy developments, as support payments were increasingly based on criteria other than commodity specific production. Due to the importance of agricultural support in policy analysis, this aspect of the GTAP Data Base is often the first to be scrutinized by the advisory board and network members, particularly in Europe and North America. We are very fortunate that Hsin has continued to work closely with GTAP staff to ensure that these data accurately reflect what is known about agricultural support. Hsin Huang is the GTAP Advisory Board representative for the OECD and is currently working on climate change analysis in the OECD's Trade and Agriculture Directorate. His research is mainly focused on the role of agricultural policies in facilitating (or impeding) the mitigation of GHGs from agriculture, and in adaptation of agriculture to climate change. It is therefore our great pleasure to award this year's Alan Powell Award for outstanding service to the GTAP Advisory Board to Hsin Huang. Thank you, Hsin, for your many contributions to GTAP! |
