WHAT IS CORNERSTONE CGE?

Cornerstone CGE is an innovative platform that supports capacity building in computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis by broadening access to educational resources and training.

Cornerstone CGE serves as a virtual meeting ground where teachers and learners can access a wealth of free teaching resources. Using cutting edge learning technologies, the materials offer an intuitive and hands-on experience in developing a foundation in the theory and implementation of CGE models.

Additionally, Cornerstone CGE periodically offers a free, tutored introductory course specifically targeted at faculty and learners who face obstacles in accessing traditional training and networking opportunities. Applicants must be resident in low and lower-middle income countries to be eligible. The next tutored course will be offered January 5 to February 6, 2026.

Cornerstone CGE was developed by Mary E. Burfisher and Karen Thierfelder.
