Subject: FAQ

Question: What are the differences between RunGtap and WinGem?

Answer:

RunGtap is used by many analysts, even some GEMPACK experts, who find it convenient. It is much more than a teaching tool. RunGTAP is very easy UNLESS you want to modify the GTAP equations. If you want to modify the GTAP equations, you'll need GEMPACK licence and GEMPACK skills. If you want to modify the GTAP equations, Wingem is the easiest route. If you have more advanced GEMPACK skills, you can import your modified equations back into RunGTAP. You need SOME Gempack licence to run GTAP with more than 10 sectors or regions. You need "executable-image" or "source-code" Gempack licence to modify GTAP equations. You need "source-code" Gempack licence to modify GTAP equations AND run the new GTAP with more than 10 sectors or regions.
