TASTE for GTAP 10: A Tariff Analytical and Simulation Tool for Economists

Dr. Janine Pelikan, of the Thunen Institute, Braunschweig has very kindly updated TASTE for GTAP 10. This TASTE version is based on ITC's MacMAP flows and applied tariffs for 2014. TASTE is a program, developed by Mark Horridge and David Laborde, that reads from the MAcMapsHS6 data, produced by ITC-Geneva. The TASTE program addresses two needs of GTAP users: 1) To prepare files of tariff shocks where GTAP users need information about bound rates (not part of GTAP) and applied rates at a detailed sectoral level (HS6). 2) To provide tariff data for SplitCom, which allows you to split one or more of the supplied 65 sectors in GTAP 10.
