Current Version
The current version of GEMPACK is Release 10.0 (May 2008), which includes many new features compared to the previous Release 9.0 (April 2005).
Courses
The Centre of Policy Studies runs several modelling courses each year. The Practical GE Modelling Course teaches you how to use GEMPACK and how to run an important GE model. There are also Dynamic and Regional CGE Modelling Courses, designed for more experienced modellers.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
FAQ This page gives answers to some of the questions which are frequently asked about GEMPACK.
GEMPACK Help and Documentation
GEMPACK documentation. The official GEMPACK user manuals.
GEMPACK Papers. View or download papers about GEMPACK.
Mailing List
GEMPACK-L Mailing List is designed to let GEMPACK users communicate amongst themselves, sharing information, tips, etc. The GEMPACK developers occasionally make announcements on it (new releases, bugs, courses, etc). Feel free to join the list.

Software
GEMPACK Windows programs. Download current versions of WinGEM and associated programs ViewHAR, ViewSOL, RunGEM and TABmate for use with both the current release of source-code GEMPACK and executable-image GEMPACK.
GEMPACK utility programs. You can download current versions of these command-line programs and use them on Windows PCs. You do not need a GEMPACK licence to run the programs (including GEMPIE, SLTOHT and SEEHAR) available here.
RunDynam. Windows software RunDynam for running recursive dynamic models (including MONASH) is available. This software can be used with any recursive dynamic model which is implemented and solved using GEMPACK. Demonstration versions of RunDynam and RunMONASH are available.
AnalyseGE. Windows software AnalyseGE helps modellers analyse their simulation results.
RunGEM. Windows software RunGEM makes it very easy to carry out Systematic Sensitivity Analysis with any model implemented using GEMPACK. For example, you can easily see how sensitive are the results of any simulation with respect to variations in the values of the Armington elasticities in your model.
ViewHAR, ViewSOL, TABmate and more Download latest versions of ViewHAR and other utilities written by Mark Horridge.
Find out how you can transfer data between GAMS and GEMPACK.
MGE2GP. If you are familiar with Tom Rutherford's MPSGE language for writing down GE models, there is a program MGE2GP which translates these models and lets you solve them using GEMPACK.

Demonstration Versions
Linux Demonstration Version of GEMPACK Release 8.0 (October 2002) of GEMPACK suitable for PCs running Linux.
Download the RunDynam demo.
Download the RunMONASH demo.

Modelling
Solving intertemporal models. Download some fully intertemporal (rational expectations) models implemented and solved using GEMPACK, including the TABLO and data files for ORANI-INT -- an intertemporal version of the ORANI model.
Quotas. It is possible to model quotas (including tariff rate quotas) explicitly via GEMPACK. [Other inequalities can be modelled explicitly via GEMPACK using the same techniques.]
ORANI-G model. Source code, documentation, and other material relating to the celebrated ORANI-G model, a useful example of a real-world GEMPACK application.
CoPS Archive contains many examples of models and databases.
CoPS Working Papers describe many GEMPACK applications.

Teaching
Computable general equilibrium modelling in the classroom -- how one professor introduces GEMPACK to his students.
The Crusoe Suite. A great resource for teaching or experimentation with GEMPACK. The Crusoe Suite includes executable versions of the ORANI-G and CRUSOE single-country models (which can be run without a GEMPACK license) together with a 10-sector single-country database for each of 30 regions of the world (adapted from the GTAP database). With full source code and comprehensive documentation of the ORANI-G model, of which the CRUSOE model is a simplified version.

Custom Software Development
Custom Software Development is available from GEMPACK and the Centre of Policy Studies. For example, model-specific Windows interfaces have been constructed for the GTAP and GTEM models.
Email GEMPACK to explore similar possibilities.
