The VU Centre of Policy Studies is hosting the National Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Modelling Workshop on Friday the 23 October at 2 Lonsdale Street, Melbourne.

The National CGE Workshop is an annual event that provides a forum for CGE modellers to exhibit and discuss their work. Register to be part of the audience and/or give a presentation. Students are encouraged to participate.

The program will include a key note speaker, and short presentations from participants of about 15 to 20 minutes, followed by questions.

The workshop will interest those new to CGE modelling, expert modellers and policy advisors who rely on modelling to analyse events with economic impacts.
