GTAP Network: Alan A. Powell Award

We are very pleased to announce that this year’s recipient of the Alan A. Powell Award is the European Commission - Joint Research Centre, represented by Matthias Weitzel.

The JRC has made significant contributions to the GTAP Data Base by providing high-quality input-output tables for European Union Member States, strengthening the global relevance of GTAP for researchers and policymakers worldwide. Beyond data contributions, the JRC actively uses the GTAP Data Base and model to conduct research on agricultural, climate, and energy policies. The JRC is also a co-host of the Pan-African Network for Economic Analysis of Policies, an initiative that fosters collaboration between researchers and policymakers in and for Africa. PANAP promotes joint work on policy priorities aimed at strengthening resilience and advancing the sustainable development of African agriculture and food sectors, and supports the participation of African researchers at the annual GTAP Conference. The JRC's longstanding partnership, technical innovation, and commitment to collaborative data development exemplify the spirit of service and international cooperation that the Alan A. Powell Award was created to honor.

Thank you, JRC, for your many important contributions to GTAP!
