As an open-source programming language, Julia is getting popular in scientific computing, in part due to its nonproprietary nature,
speed potential and extensive packages for applications. The goal of this workshop is to provide CS3 researchers an introduction to economic modeling
using Julia. The background in computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling using GAMS/MPSGE is helpful but not required.
The workshop will begin from CGE theories, and then proceed to Julia Basics and modeling exercises using Julia. I will borrow some examples presented in James Markusen’s CGE course and convert them
into Julia versions, so that participants get an idea about how to do similar exercises on their own. Other topics such as data processing in
Julia may be covered later if any interest.
The workshop will include four online one-hour meetings every four weeks with possible future extension. The plan is to hold the
first meeting in January, 2026.
