AvW_deficit.gms:  AvW model that allows the user to source 
different data depending on the treatment of trade deficites 
and PPML estimated trade flows.  This replicates the tariff 
analysis in Appendix A.  Figures are created with the Julia 
code.  Confirmation that we have agreement between the
Julia and GAMS code.

AvWmodel.gms:  AvW model that does not allow for trade
imbalances.

Data.xlsx: Excel file that includes the trade data.

mcpalg.gms:  same model as AvWmodel.gms, but it is 
coded in GAMS algebra, not MPSGE. Running AvWmodel.gms includes this
file to verify that the two models are consistent.

mcpalg_deficit.gms:  same model as AvW_deficit.gms in GAMS algebra, 
which allows for trade imbalances.

plot.gms is a ploting program that utilizes GNUPLOT.
rpt.gms holds some reporting code (not used).
