About Mark Horridge

Professor Mark Horridge is a Research Professor at Victoria University's Centre of Policy Studies (CoPS). From 2007 to 2013 Mark held a similar position at CoPS, Monash University. He holds a PhD in economics from the University of Melbourne.

Mark leads the small team behind GEMPACK software, the CGE modelling system developed at CoPS over many years by Ken Pearson and others.

He has also been involved in development of the MMRF and TERM regional CGE models that are used for Australian policy analysis. He has helped to build CGE models for many other countries, including China, Thailand, Finland, South Africa, Brazil, Poland, the Philippines, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Taiwan. Pursuant to these international projects Mark has undertaken around 60 overseas trips paid for by an external client. He has organised or taught in around 80 training courses in Melbourne or elsewhere.

Mark has (co-)authored 35 refereed journal articles, 14 book chapters and 1 book.

Mark has been associated with the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP, www.gtap.org) in various ways since its inception, and since 2009 is one of three 'members-at-large' of the GTAP Consortium or Advisory Board.
