  1. Can describe and explain the economic behavior that drives a CGE model

  2. Understands and can explain the contents and structure of a CGE model database

  3. Able to run the UNI-CGE model, a standard single-country model written in GAMS software

  4. Can define and run scenarios that represent real-world problems

  5. Can synthesize and interpret results from a general equilibrium perspective

  This badge does not represent formal credit or award. It demonstrates participation in an informal learning activity.
