Beyond Oil & Hormuz.
Kuwait Economic Resilience & Diversification Policy Lab
Advanced CGE modeling for Hormuz disruption, oil shocks, fiscal risks and economic diversification — designed for Kuwaiti government officials, economists, policy analysts and researchers.
Government / Institutional Team
Per participant • minimum 5 participants
- 18-hour live online policy lab
- Kuwait-focused CGE scenarios
- GAMS practical modeling
- Simulation results & model files
- Contribution to final policy brief
- Certificates + post-workshop Q&A
Turn a live economic shock into quantitative policy evidence.
The program connects external risks with Kuwait's longer-term diversification challenge. Participants use CGE modeling to answer government-facing questions rather than studying CGE only as an academic methodology.
Quantify
Assess the economic impact of Hormuz disruption, oil-price changes, export shocks and trade restrictions.
Compare
Evaluate alternative fiscal, investment, subsidy, trade and social-protection policies using a consistent CGE framework.
Identify & Decide
Identify sectors and policy packages that can strengthen resilience, diversification, fiscal stability and household welfare.
Kuwait Economic Resilience Policy Brief 2026
Proposed title: Beyond Oil and Hormuz: A CGE-Based Assessment of Kuwait's Economic Resilience and Diversification Strategies
The workshop is designed around a concrete research output. Each session produces a component of the analysis; the final session validates the findings and policy recommendations.
Publication workflow
1. Workshop
Scenario design, modeling and policy discussion.
2. Technical review
The research team validates assumptions, results and presentation.
3. Policy brief
Final publication with tables, figures, findings and recommendations.
4. Executive dissemination
Available as part of the research-project package.
Six government-oriented simulation labs.
Click through the scenarios to see how the workshop moves from shock assessment to integrated policy strategy.
Six live sessions across two weeks.
Each session is 3 hours, combining concepts, live CGE/GAMS modeling and policy interpretation.

Frequently asked questions.
Is the program entirely online?
Yes. The program is delivered 100% live online, allowing participants to join from Kuwait without travel.
How long is the program?
The program is 18 hours in total, delivered as six live sessions of three hours each across two weeks.
What technical background is required?
Prior CGE or GAMS experience is helpful but not mandatory. The program introduces the CGE framework before moving into practical policy simulations.
What is the final publication?
The workshop culminates in a Kuwait-focused policy brief based on the simulations and policy discussions. The final output is subject to technical review and publication approval.
Can a government team join together?
Yes. The government/institutional rate is €1,720 per participant with a minimum of 5 participants, giving a starting team value of €8,600.
