Course Evaluation 20106 SE Applied Data Analysis/Applied Quantitative Data Analysis here
In collaboration with the CAPRI network, the Faculty of Life Sciences Thaer-Institute International Agricultural Trade And Development at the Humboldt University zu Berlin and the Thünen Institute for farm economics organizes and offers this CAPRI course for beginners. CAPRI (Common Agricultural Policy Regional Impact Analysis) is a global agroeconomic model developed for policy impact assessment purposes. Operational for two decades, it supports decision-making related to the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU and its implementation at the Member State and regional levels. The effects of agricultural, environmental and trade policies on agricultural production, consumption, prices and trade, as well as environmental indicators, are analysed in a comparative-static framework in which the simulated results are compared to a baseline scenario.
The CAPRI course aims at bringing together students, modelers, developers and any individuals with a strong interest and background in agriculture related research to improve their knowledge about agricultural economics and quantitative modeling of agricultural, environmental and trade policies with the CAPRI system. Discussions on common issues on agricultural policy, policy modelling, model development and maintenance with CAPRI developers and users will support knowledge generation and exchange of experiences in the community. The focus of this course is to provide participants with fundamental knowledge of CAPRI model to support and foster its further independent use for educational and research purposes (at the advanced level). Participants will learn to use the CAPRI model for scenario analysis and get acquainted with its Graphical User Interface (GUI), its structural blocks and its development approach. Special attention will be given to hands-on exercises on ex-ante impact assessments of agricultural policy changes in the agricultural sector, agri-food markets and the environment.
The course will be led by Alexander Gocht with the support of Davit Stepanyan, Davide Pignotti, Ferike Thom, Jörg Rieger with contributions of core developers of the CAPRI network such as Maria Blanco, Torbjörn Jansson, Ana Klinnert und Caetano Beber.
