The (synthetic) social accounting matrix (SAM) used in the paper can be found here [Uganda_SAM_2001.xls]

The GAMS files used in the paper are contained are as follows:

AB_06a.GMS is our base model; the results reported in the main text of the paper are generated by this model.

AB_06b.GMS provides for a CES aggregation of skilled and unskilled labour (as discussed in the appendix).

AB_06c.GMS provides for a Kaldorian macroeconomic closure (as discussed in the appendix).

Notes:

[1] All three files 'call' the following supplementary files.

ugandadat05.GMS [contains the baseline data in GAMS format]

gamma.GMS [provides for sector-specific biases in TFP]

[2] To implement these programmes you will need to modify paths to suit the set up of your own computer and you may need to modify the GAMS solver (we have used MINOS5 and CONOPT].
