The data on this page are from the 2015 model benchmark reported in Petri and Plummer, The Economic Effects of the Trans-Pacific Partnership: New Estimates, Working Paper 16-2, Peterson Institute for International Economics and East-West Center, 2016. A page linked below offers similar information for the 2012 model.
Software and basic social accounting data
The social accounting matrix used in the model is GTAP 9 (http://www.gtap.agecon.purdue.edu). The model is implemented using GAMS software (http://www.gams.com/). Please consult the vendors for further information. Additional files are available for those with valid licenses to these sources.
