Professor Hertel is the course developer. This material has evolved over the last decade from a course covering a variety of applied GE frameworks to a unified course using the GTAP/GEMPACK suite of software. This permits users to get much further during the semester, undertaking significant course projects for presentation in the final week of classes.

After completing her PhD at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia, she joined GTAP as a post-doctoral research fellow.
