Capacity development activities continued in Costa Rica with the implementation of the 3rd economy-wide modelling workshop in San José from 7 to 10 August. The training focused on the CGE dynamic model. It assessed different shocks to the economy, increases in energy efficiency, greater investments in infrastructure and other simulations. Due to the important insights the model has provided, participants requested another workshop to further explore and confirm the main findings, in preparation for a presentation to medium- and high-level government officials.
