The Austrian Institute of Economic Research (WIFO) is organising the 13th international workshop in the field of regional
economics in honour of Geoffrey J.D. Hewings, Professor of Economics at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and
member of WIFO's Scientific Board. This event aims at bringing together researchers from various fields of economics working
mainly at the regional level to discuss ideas and exchange knowledge. Glyn Wittwer of the Centre of Policy Studies (CoPS)
in Melbourne will serve as our keynote speaker for the workshop. Glyn is a regional dynamic CGE modelling expert. He has played
a major role in developing databases for several country-specific versions of TERM (The Enormous Regional Model), a "bottom-up"
multiregional CGE model developed at CoPS. His list of projects includes modelling of the impacts of major dam and transport
projects, drought and water trading, flood, hypothetical plant disease scenarios, productivity scenarios, wine tax scenarios,
major mine construction projects, industry closures and the aftermath of civil disruption.
