This eLearning course guides participants through the Overlapping Generations Core (OG-Core) model, an open-source economic modeling framework for developing country-specific models. Policymakers can use OG-Core to simulate the economic impacts of tailored policy interventions. This self-paced course covers the model’s theoretical foundations, key features, and real-world applications. Participants will gain hands-on experience using Python to run simulations and learn to craft impactful policy notes based on their results.
