Impacts of Trade Liberalization Agreements on Latin America and the Caribbean |
|
Meeting |
 |
 |
|
|
| The objective of the Conference is two-fold. First, to give Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelers the opportunity to publicly present policy-related applications focused on Latin America and the Caribbean's international relations within the Americas, with the European Union, and the world. Second, to promote technical discussion on the models' advantages and shortcomings as well as data and methodological aspects, all with a view to stimulating further advances in the construction and use of CGE models. |
