Hans has been an expert CGE modeler throughout his career and is best known for two models that have become de facto standards for single country CGE models. While at IFPRI, Hans worked closely with Sherman Robinson to develop the IFPRI standard CGE model that was intended to ease the burden for developing CGE models (Lofgren et al 2002). The IFPRI standard model was designed with sufficient flexibility to incorporate a wide variety of country-based SAMs and various closure rules. It has proven to be a robust framework that is still in wide use for single country applications. After moving to the Bank, he vastly extended the capacity of the IFPRI standard model. In summary, Hans has helped set the standard for single country CGE modeling that has no competitors, and has elevated the relevance of CGE-style modeling in new areas.

Terrie's contributions to the MyGTAP model allows CGE researchers to use GTAP-based models to analyze food security issues in Africa and other regions of the world. This version provides an important step to remove the regional household and allowing for more detailed analysis of government and multiple households. In working both with the GTAP Model and the GLOBE model, Terrie also contributes to bridge the gap between GEMPACK and GAMS based model coding.
• Wusheng Yu - For his outstanding research using the GTAP Model and Data Base. Wusheng's research interests are in the areas of international trade policy, agricultural policy, and computable general equilibrium models. His GTAP-related work has appeared in major agricultural economics and trade policy journals, such as American Journal Agricultural Economics, Journal of Agricultural Economics, European Review of Agricultural Economics, World Economy, World Trade Review, Economic Modeling, and China Economic Review. He has also received considerable scholastic citations for the following GTAP-related work: structural changes on the world food market and demand system comparisons in projecting global food demand reforms of China's trade and agricultural policy before and after its WTO accession trade and economic integration in South Asia tariff preferences and the LDCs and the EU's common agricultural policy.
