Main themes Economic models for policy analysis: Demand and supply models Household models Market and multi-market models Trade models Computable general equilibrium models Most illustrations are drawn from recent agricultural and trade policy reforms.
Aims This course aims to make graduate students familiar with applied methods for policy analysis in both partial and general equilibrium settings. Students are expected to be progressively able to design econometric and mathematical models to analyse economic policies under various hypothesis and scopes as well as recognise their limitations. This course should help these students bridge their microeconomic theory to policy analysis and, hence, prepare them better to assist policy decision makers.
