GVAR Handbook

The GVAR Handbook:

Structure and Applications of a Macro Model

of the Global Economy for Policy Analysis

Edited by Filippo di Mauro and M. Hashem Pesaran

Oxford University Press (2013)

The GVAR Handbook is a collection of contributed chapters that:

• analyses how the original GVAR model has evolved over the years

• reports on the applications and extensions made by several contributors

• shows how powerful the model can be as a tool for policy analysis.

In terms of content the Handbook puts together – for the first time – an extensive literature on the subject. See here for the Chapter Index.

In terms of audience the Handbook aims at a broad readership of researches including policy-makers and other economic practitioners, with the purpose of familiarising them with an additional tool of analysis of the global economy. All chapters are accessible to non-specialists.
