Computing Solutions for Large General Equilibrium Models using GEMPACK
W. Jill Harrison and K. R. Pearson
CoPS/Impact Preliminary Working Paper No. IP-64, June 1994.
(Available electronically)
This gives an overview of GEMPACK as it was in 1994.
Solving Applied General Equilibrium Models Represented as a Mixture of Linearized and Levels Equations
W. Jill Harrison, K. R. Pearson, Alan A. Powell and E. John Small
CoPS/Impact Preliminary Working Paper No. IP-61, September 1993.
(Available electronically)
Models solved via GEMPACK can be written down as a system of levels equations, linearized equations or a mixture of these. This paper gives
practical information about the mixed case.
Multiregional and Intertemporal AGE Modelling via GEMPACK
W. Jill Harrison, K. R. Pearson and Alan A. Powell
CoPS/Impact Preliminary Working Paper No. IP-66, November 1995.
(Available electronically)
This paper describes features of GEMPACK which are especially useful for multiregional and intertemporal models, and gives examples from widely
used models.
Decomposing Simulation Results with Respect to Exogenous Shocks,
W. Jill Harrison, J. Mark Horridge and K.R. Pearson
CoPS/Impact Preliminary Working Paper No. IP-73, May 1999.
(Available electronically)
This paper describes a natural way of decomposing the changes in the endogenous variables as sums of the contributions made by the change in each
exogenous shocked variable.
A Practical Method for Explicitly Modeling Quotas and Other Complementarities
W.Jill Harrison, Mark Horridge, K.R. Pearson and Glyn Wittwer
CoPS/Impact Preliminary Working Paper No. IP-78, April 2002.
(Available electronically)
This paper describes a practical way to solve CGE models containing complementarity conditions which can be used to model inequality constraints
(eg, import quotas) or non-differentiable functions (eg, income tax schedules).
Running Simulations Faster on Multi-Processor or 64-bit PCs via GEMPACK
J Mark Horridge and Ken Pearson
CoPS/Impact Preliminary Working Paper No. C15-01, April 2006.
(Available electronically)
This paper describes how, on a PC with two or more processors, GEMPACK can save time by performing some calculations in parallel. .
