Research Fellows
The Board approved to name the following as Research Fellows for 2019-2022: Eddy Bekkers For significant contributions in trade modeling: firm heterogeneity, gravity modelling, traded goods prices, food price pass through, foreign affiliate sales and trade in services, and for being instrumental in developing the WTO’s trade model, converting the standard GTAP model into a recursive dynamic model with additional features such as increasing returns to scale and Melitz-like features. Wolfgang Britz For significant advances in promoting the GTAP framework through the development of satellite data, especially in agriculture, and for the development of the CGEBox modeling software, which provides a flexible, extendable and modular code basis for CGE modeling in GAMS drawing on the GTAP Data Base, combined with a powerful user interface based on GGIG (GAMS Graphical User Interface Generator). Everett Peterson For outstanding contributions to GTAP theory and data bases through developing the first margins-inclusive version of the GTAP model -- along with a prototype data base, for pioneering a new approach to disaggregating agricultural activity using FAO data, and for recent work on developing a version of GTAP with frictional unemployment. Anna Strutt For being an extremely highly valued instructor on multiple GTAP Courses (standard and dynamic short courses and GTAP PTA), for her extensive analyses of trade agreements using the GTAP Data Base and model, estimation and modeling of non-tariff measures (NTM), as well as being a frequent attendee, presenter, reviewer, chair, and mentor/advisor at the annual conference.
