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.
As those of you who know him can readily attest, Alan is a public-spirited individual who has devoted his career to two things: (1) the pursuit of knowledge - as the increasingly widespread adoption of his work in demand analysis demonstrates, and (2) the visionary support of both individuals and institutions committed to the quantitative economic analysis of public policy. This year's recipient shares with Alan these two lofty goals, having both a powerful intellect as well as being a good citizen of the world. Sebastien Jean has a can-do attitude. He is not daunted by large jobs, demanding deadlines and overwhelming quantities of data. He is willing to stick his neck out and for the sake of improving the global public good. While Sebastien has a keen intellect, he doesn't let this get in the way of receiving input from others. He welcomes feedback on his work, and readily incorporates it, as appropriate. Last, but not least, he surrounds himself with hard-working individuals! We have greatly appreciated the work of Sebastien Jean and the rest of the team at CEPII on a protection data base for GTAP. Over the last year, they have produced several pre-releases of their data base for GTAP. The quality and thoroughness of their work has convinced the GTAP Advisory Board to use this data base as the primary source of protection data for version 6.0. They have been willing to work to a tight timetable and they have also been willing to modify their methodologies in light of feedback and for the sake of comparability with other work. In addition to his leadership on the data base front, Sebastien Jean is the intellectual force behind CEPII's innovative global economic model: Mirage. He also has been a great help to us in organizing this year's conference. In summary, Sebastien embodies the same characteristics that have made GTAP successful. We would thank him for his many contributions by presenting him with the 2004 Alan A. Powell Award. Congratulations, Sebastien! |
