GTAP (the Global Trade Analysis Project) is a global network of researchers[3] (mostly from universities, international organizations, and economic and climate/resource ministries of governments) who conduct quantitative analysis of international economic policy issues[broken anchor], including trade policy,[4] climate policy,[5] and globalization linkages to inequality and employment.[6] The consortium produces a consistent global economic database (the GTAP Data Base) which is widely used in the research community to study prospective international economic policy around these issues.[7]

While the consortium includes a large number of international organizations,[3] GTAP itself is coordinated by the Center for Global Trade Analysis, located at Purdue University.
