This teaching workshop provides an introduction to computable general equilibrium (CGE) models for the analysis of environmental and resource policies. There will also be special training sessions as part of this program on social capital. The workshop will develop step-by-step environmental CGE models that can be used in the scientific and policy debate for the economic assessment of such policy initiatives. The course will have many "hands-on" exercises in CGE modelling. By the end of the course, each participant should be able to design, implement, solve and interpret the results of small static CGE models. The workshop is intended for people in the scientific and business community (universities, research centers, consulting companies) as well as people in administration (ministries) that are drawn from eastern, central and southern Africa.
