The file ACRS3X3.zip contains all the files needed for replicating the
four examples in the paper "R Meets GEMPACK for a Monte Carlo Walk."
This file is based on the ``GTAP Course 3x3 aggregation SSA-EUR,''
ACRS3X3 for short, developed in 1998 and still used today in GTAP
short courses. ACRS3X3 is part of the standard RunGTAP distribution
and is also freely available from the GTAP website; however, for
replicating the examples it is necessary to use the zipped version
available from the website of the Journal of Global Economic Analysis,
which has already modified GEMPACK command files (CMF).

In order to replicate these experiments the user should install
the R software, the package rgtap (use the command
install_github("nvilloria/rgtap") from the package devtools), the
GEMPACK program sltoht, and the helper program har2csv. Links to
all these software are provided in the main paper.

The examples, one to four, can be replicated by running the
script files: ACRS3X3_ex1.R, ACRS3X3_ex2.R, ACRS3X3_ex3.R and
ACRS3X3_ex4.R. The programs ACRS3X3_ex2_comp.R and
ACRS3X3_ex4_comp.R contain scripts for post-processing of the
main results.

The user is highly encouraged to execute the examples as indicated
in the paper.
