General Equilibrium Models (GEMs)
General equilibrium theory is useful for understanding economic interactions and changes in the context of static and dynamic complex modern economies. Applied GEMs are widely used in the field of Macroeconomics to address a wide range of theoretical research questions, analyze, forecast, and simulate policy issues in response to exogenous shocks.
M&S Research Hub organizes full and comprehensive online/onsite 45 hours of structured training for researchers, data analysts, and policy experts to acquire detailed knowledge and become fully capable of using the methodologies, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) in their research and policy-related analysis.
