TPPD0210 Paper by Peter Dixon and Maureen Rimmer describing a validation exercise for 2014-2017 conducted with a 13-region 57-commodity version of the GTAP model. Submitted PBD November 2024. download (379KB).
TPMH0209 To estimate the effect of a natural disaster on one (of 27) region of Brazil, using a version of TERM, a professor asked his graduate students to manually run 104 simulations for 104 selected sectors, each with a unique closure, showing the economy-wide effects of a fall in output of that sector in that region. To save computation time, a master TERM database (with 27 regions and 125 sectors) was aggregated to 2 regions: ThisRegion and RestOfBrazil. The client was pleased, and asked that the simulations be repeated for each of the 27 regions. With 104 simulations for each of 27 regions, this requires 2808 simulations -- the graduate students got depressed! This archive item shows how the process was automated, taking around 19 minutes total (or 2 simulations per second). Requires GEMPACK 12 or later (either source-code or unlimited EXE-image). The automation illustrates several techniques including (a) replaceable parameters in BAT files; (b) replaceable parameters in CMF files; and (c) the use of the echo command to create text files from which HAR files are made.

TPMH0192 Example of a standard TERM model with 436 regions and just 7 sectors, solving in 27 minutes. This is accompanied by a modified model, TERM2, especially designed to cope with the large number of regions. In this case, TERM2 solves 45 times faster than standard TERM! See file ReadMe.txt. Source-code GEMPACK 12 (or later) will be required to run the examples. Submitted JMH March 2021. download (341MB).

TPMH0187 Fullsize TERM databases, with around 30 regions and >100 sectors are too large to run conveniently. They are usually aggregated to a smaller size (say 20 regions and 70 sectors) which solves far more quickly. This archive shows how to aggregate a 34 region, 185 sector Indonesian TERM database (see item TPMH0168 below) down to 19 regions and 22 sectors. See file ReadMe.Doc. Submitted JMH March 2020. download (33MB).
TPMH0186 Contains ORA2GTAP, a TABLO program used to convert a standard ORANI-G data file into the format needed to contribute data to GTAP. So, if you built a single-country ORANI-G model using IO data that was more recent than that used by GTAP, you could easily share your data with GTAP. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted JMH December 2019. download (1.06MB).
TPMH0185 Contains a sequence of TABLO programs used to convert a TERM multiregional CGE database into a series of regional input-output tables, like those used for local multiplier analysis. A preliminary step is to expand TERM's MRIO format into the larger IRIO format (where sourcing information is user-specific, as in MMRF). This is used to construct an IO table for each region, from which various tables of Type 1 and Type 2 multipliers are calculated. Results are stored in region-specific HAR and XLS files. A variety of GEMPACK techniques are illustrated: using BAT files to run a complicated sequence of programs; using SAGEM to separately compute the first-order effect of multiple shocks; using SLTOHT to generate a HAR file from an SL4 file; using TXT2HAR to make a HAR file from a text file; and using HAR2XLS to make an XLS file from a HAR file. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted JMH December 2019. download (9.5MB).
TPMH0184 It is easy with GEMPACK to make equation A apply to a subset of commodities while equation B applies to all the other commodities. But what if we wished to use equation A for a particular group of commodity/region pairs and have equation B apply in all other cases? An experienced GAMS programmer might create a multidimensional set, then reach for a tuple. GEMPACK allows for similar techniques, although the terminology is different. This archive contains examples of product sets and projection mappings used to produce some tuplistic effects. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted JMH September 2019. download (9KB).
TPMH0183 GTAP moved from the good old 57 sectors [GSEC2] to the wild new 65 sectors [GSEC3]. This archive contains GMAP.HAR, containing old and new sector codes, and a mapping 65-->57. Similar information is contained in file GMAP.XLS. Other supplementary files are included.See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted JMH August 2019. download (465KB).
TPMH0182 Example of the TERMSCAL program used to (a) remove accounting imbalances in a TERM database; and/or (b) update the database by imposing new targets for regional GDP, sector outputs, etc. The example requires source-code GEMPACK, but could be adapted to use EXE-image GEMPACK. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted JMH August 2019. download (2.5MB).
TPMH0181 Contains LandAdd.PDF, a discussion of the CET functional form, and the problem that it is not volume-preserving or quantity-preserving (physical quantities do not add up properly). Remedies to the problem are discussed, including a CRETH approach which is both quantity-preserving and efficiency neutral. TAB and CMF files are included so you can run all the examples mentioned in the text. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted JMH April 2019. download (138KB).
TPMH0180 Shows how to easily compute in GEMPACK a distance matrix, given latitude/longitude coordinates for a set of points. Includes an accurate polynomial approximation for the COS function. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH March 2019. download (17MB).
TPMH0179 GEMPACK 12 Preview: Release 12 imposes certain limitations on LHS mappings in Formulae. These limitations can often be circumvented by using a Loop statement. In this example, a weight matrix is constructed to map between 200 ecological zones and 300 political zones. The two are related by a million grid cells, each of which is located in just one ecological zone and just one political zone. The calculation takes 37 seconds the old GP11 way, but just 1.5 seconds the new GP12 way. Submitted by MH September 2018. download (32MB).
TPMH0178 GEMPACK 12 Preview: Release 12 allows Loop statements in TAB files, which are very convenient for certain data manipulation tasks, in particular for iteratively scaling arrays so that they add up to predetermined control totals. In this example an estimate array dimensioned COM*IND*REG (120*100*80) is scaled so that it adds up to three subtotal control matrices dimensioned COM*IND, IND*REG and COM*REG. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH September 2018. download (12MB).
TPMH0177 GEMPACK 12 Preview: New for Release 12 is the ability to use mappings on the left-hand side of Formulas. This can dramatically speed up certain operations. In this example, the input file contains a 50-region, 57-sector inter-regional input-output table stored as a 2-dimensional matrix [rows are commodity*sourceregion; columns are user*destregion]. We wish to transform this to a 4-dimensional array [commodity*sourceregion*columns*destregion]. Using GEMPACK 11.0 this took 36 seconds; GEMPACK12 took 0.22 seconds -- around 150 times faster. Using files in this archive, you can measure the speedup on your own PC. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH September 2018. download (39MB).
TPMH0176 Example of using SLTOHT and HAR2CSV to extract selected results from an SL4 file into a CSV which can easily be turned into an Excel pivot table. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH July 2018. download (3.6MB).
TPMH0175 Example of ORANI-G model used to simulate the effect on Uganda of an increase in foreign tourist demand. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH July 2018. download (7.9MB).
TPMH0174 Proposal for a method of aggregating CES elasticities. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH June 2018. download (116KB).
TPMH0173 GEMPACK 12 Preview: Release 12 dramatically speeds up the LU (linear solve) phase, especially reducing solution times for LU-bound models such as GTAP and TERM. For example, to solve a 50-region, 40-sector GTAP6 model took 787 seconds using GEMPACK 11.0, but only 135 seconds using GEMPACK 12.0 -- nearly 6 times faster. Using files in this archive, you can measure the speedup on your own PC. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted by MH June 2018. download (18.5MB).
TPGW0172 Contains two documents. One outlines the data preparation for a 2015-16 master database of the Australian economy with 192 sectors and 334 regions. The task was undertaken prior to the release of the 2015-16 IO table by the ABS and consequently relies on an update from 2012-13. The other document outlines SinoTERM365, a 162 sector, 365 region master database of the Chinese economy based on 2012 data. Submitted by GW May 2018. download (3.1MB).

TPMH0165 Example of how SAGEM may be used to do large IO multiplier analysis -- or to invert a matrix! In this case, we construct a simple world IRIO input-output model with 30 regions and 40 sectors. We compute the individual effects, on output of each sector in each region, of increasing final demand for each sector in each region by 1 unit. The answer is equivalent to calculating the (I-A) inverse matrix, where I and A are of size 1200*1200. However, because an LU decomposition is used, the process is quicker and more accurate than directly inverting the matrix. See file ReadMe.txt. Requires source code GEMPACK. Submitted by MH May 2017. download (151KB).

Visio 2002 was used to convert 39 such AF2 files into the VSD file format used by MicroSoft Visio. Submitted by MH, November 2016. download (1.2MB).
TPMH0159 Example of how effective condensation (automatic substitution) allows GEMPACK to solve quite large models fairly quickly. In this partial equilibrium example, two farm activities (irrigated and non-irrigated crops) are modelled in each of 500,000 gridcell land areas, grouped into 20 regions which trade with each other. After condensing out large variables and equations, a 3-5-7 Gragg simulation takes around 1 minute. See file readme.txt. Submitted by MH, August 2016. download (35.7MB).
TPMH0158 Example of how GEMPACK may be used to do SAM multiplier analysis. The SAGEM program may be used to quickly perform dozens or hundreds of Johansen simulations at once. This makes SAGEM a useful helper in performing IO calculations and multiplier analysis. The example here calculates "SAM multipliers" with respect to demand shocks for a Brazilian city. Submitted by MH, July 2016. download (3.4MB).
TPGW0157 Preparation of the USAGE model, a dynamic model of the U.S. economy, required many enhancements to raw input-output data.

TPMH0152 A second example of a technique (described in item TPMH0147 below) of linking GTAP to a national CGE model. In this more complicated example, the national model has many more sectors than GTAP, and there is no simple mapping between the two sectoral classifications. See file readme.txt. Submitted JMH August 2015. download (5.2MB).
TPMH0151 Contains a Rundynam Archive to reproduce a simulation of a REDD scheme designed to compensate Nepal for halting deforestation in the Terai/Churia areas.

TPMH0147 PDF, TABLO code and data files to accompany 2003 GTAP conference presentation by Ferreira/Horridge: "Linking GTAP to National Models: Some Highlights and a Practical Approach". Essentially, the TAB file for the national model (a Brazilian version of ORANIG distinguishing 27 top-down regions within Brazil) is merely appended to the GTAP TAB file (luckily, the two models share very few names for coefficients/variables). A few equations to link the models are added. Then a closure swap deactivates the Brazil part of the GTAP model, substituting instead the ORANIG version of Brazil. It is not necessary that the ORANIG commodities and industries are the same as the GTAP sectors. See file readme.txt. Submitted JMH January 2015. download (620KB).

Submitted JMH September 2014. download (164KB).[note: item TPMH0181 above is a later version of this]
TPGW0142 A discussion by Glyn Wittwer on how the relative size of TERM and MMRF databases varies according to the numbers of regions and sectors.

See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted EC February 2014. download (96MB).
TPMH0137 Runtime of your GEMPACK model can often be improved by tuning the condensation. In this example we make standard GTAP run twice as fast by editing the STI file -- TAB file is not changed. Archive includes improved 64-bit GTAP.EXE/AXS/AXT files which could be used (on 64-bit Windows) as faster replacements for the standard GTAP.EXE/AXS/AXT files. See file ReadMe.txt.

TPMH0132 You might wish, for debugging purposes, to see values of variables and coefficents AT EACH STEP of a multistep GEMPACK simulation (eg, a 3-step Euler). This archive item, using GTAP as an example, shows how to do it. See file ReadMe2.txt. Submitted MH June 2013. download (2.8MB).
TPMJ0131 Similar to archive item TPMH0129, this contains an example of replaceable CMF parameters used with the GTAP model. Multiple simulations show how the welfare loss from the tariff relates to the average value of trade elasticities. The welfare loss rises to a maximum as the Armington elasticity grows from zero, reaches a maximum and then declines as elasticities get very large. However, we find that GTAP results become unstable when these elasticities are small but non-zero. This odd kink was mentioned in a GTAP conference presentation (Shanghai, June 2013). You can run the examples even if your GEMPACK is older than Release 11.2. See file ReadMe.txt. Submitted MJ June 2013. download (3MB).

TPMH0125 In preparing data we may need to merge or compare two sources with different levels of sectoral detail. For example, we may wish to compare two vectors of exports, one from an IO table defined over set OSEC size 92 sectors, the other from the GTAP database defined over a set GSEC size 57. There may be no direct mapping from OSEC to GSEC, or vice-versa. The solution may be to define a 3rd, smaller, set of sectors (called, say, GROUP) with as many sectors as possible, such that each OSEC sector and each GSEC sector maps to (is contained within) just one GROUP. Then the mappings (from OSEC and GSEC to GROUP) let us aggregate both export vectors to the same GROUP size, allowing easy comparison. This archive item contains an example TABLO program showing how the task of creating the set GROUP (and the 2 mappings) can be automated. See file ReadMe.TXT.
