Practical Training: Macroeconomic Modeling of Climate Shocks (DGE–CRED)
Workshop / Capacity Building, Halle Institute for Economic Research (IWH) / GIZ, 2022
This technical practical training was conducted as part of the GIZ project “Climate-Resilient Economic Development in Vietnam”. The workshop taught advanced methods for integrating climate risks into Dynamic General Equilibrium (DGE) models.
Key focus areas included:
- Shock Modeling: Practical implementation of storm events, land loss, and labor productivity losses.
- Technical Calibration: Use of MATLAB-based tools for the automated preparation of sectoral data for the agriculture, industry, and services sectors.
- Regional Focus: Application of modeling scenarios specifically for the Vietnam region to support evidence-based adaptation policy.
