Yemen SAM and CGE Training Workshop
24th - 25th April, 2019
Building on the cooperation between IFPRI and the Government of Yemen, IFPRI has worked together with the World Bank Country office for Yemen to construct a disaggregated regional Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for Yemen, and to use this SAM to build a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium model (DCGE) model. The DCGE has been used to quantify the damage costs of conflict as well as implement the possible scenarios for the reconstruction of Yemen economy.
In this regard, IFPRI Egypt Country office, based in Cairo, held a two-day training workshop, during 24th-25th April 2019, to highlight the main features of the DCGE model as well as discuss the model’s assumptions and limitations. A group of five statistical experts from the Central Statistical Organization (CSO) attended this workshop.
Providing training to this core group of participants could further help in CGE expansion and use in the national statistical programs.
