Download all numbered parts, right-click on the .001 file, and use 7-Zip or WinRAR to "Extract Here." Why it’s "Split"
Pre-configured scripts to run "What If" scenarios, such as "What happens to GDP if we increase carbon taxes by 10%?" or "How does a new trade agreement affect rural poverty?" How to Use It
Most CGE templates require GAMS (General Algebraic Modeling System) or GEMPACK.
The "data" layer of the template. These are usually Excel or .gdx files that map the flow of all economic transactions within a country or region for a specific year.
To work with these templates, you generally need specialized software and the complete set of archive parts:
This is a "split volume" created by 7-Zip . Because it ends in .001 , it cannot be opened on its own; you must have all subsequent parts (e.g., .002 , .003 ) in the same folder to extract the contents.
These archives are usually split because the underlying Social Accounting Matrices or the model's documentation can be several gigabytes in size, making them difficult to host on academic servers or share via email without breaking them into smaller chunks. If you'd like, I can help you with: Finding the of the archive. Explaining how to run a GAMS simulation once extracted. Understanding the economic theory behind CGE modeling.
If you were to extract this archive, you would likely find the following components:
