GTAP Products: GTAP Book

GTAP Book The standard GTAP framework is documented in Global Trade Analysis: Modeling and Applications, T.W. Hertel (ed.), published in 1997 by Cambridge University Press. (Download available)

This book is divided into 4 parts: The applications are grouped into 3 broad categories: All of the applications in this book can be replicated using the GEMPACK-based software and files described in Chapter 6 of the book. Alternatively, we provide another program named RunGTAP for the replication.

GEMPACK Files for the GTAP Book Applications
The GTAP Book version of GemPACK is available for download, as well as the standard version of the GTAP Model, and several aggregations of the GTAP data. These enable users to carry out simulations with GTAP, and to replicate most of the applications in the GTAP Book. Further instructions on how to download and install these files will be provided. We suggest that you put these files into a directory on your computer called \gtapbook.



How to Order?
Be sure to order the paperback version. It is cheaper and has a number of incorporated corrections.
