The standard GTAP model is a multiregional, multisector computable general equilibrium model, with perfect competition and constant returns to scale. GTAP-E is an extension of the GTAP framework (database and model) used to evaluate costs of abatement and to assess the spillover effects of greenhouse gases (GHG) abatement policies via international trade and sectoral interaction.
