EDITORIAL - RECENT PROGRESS IN ECONOMIC EQUILIBRIUM MODELING FOR INFRASTRUCTURE PLANNING AND MANAGEMENT: COMPUTABLE GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELS AND COMPUTABLE URBAN ECONOMIC MODELS

Computable General Equilibrium Models for Pol- icy Evaluation and Economic Consequence Anal- ysis

This chapter reviews recent applications of computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling in the analysis and evaluation of policies which affect interactions among multiple markets. At the core of this research is a particular approach to the data and structural representations of the economy, which we elaborate through the device of a canonical static multiregional model. We adapt and extend ...

The Effect of Climate Change on Economic Growth (Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model Approach in Iran)

Climate change is one of the most important issues affecting different economic sectors. Although this phenomenon has had a larger effect on the agricultural sector due to the heavy dependence of agriculture on weather conditions as compared to the other economic sectors, other economic sectors such as the industry, mining and service sectors are also influenced by weather changes due to their ...

Investigating the Economic Effects of Taxes on Pollutants in Iran Using a Computable General Equilibrium Model

This study investigates the economic effects of taxes on pollutants in Iran in 2011. For this purpose, computable general equilibrium model with 2011 social accounting matrix is applied. Six scenarios taxes on pollutants have defined and estimatethe effects on economic variables and production quantity of activities. The results show that the taxes on pollutants is conducive to environmental im...

Economic Assessment of Carbon Tax policy: Applied Computable General Equilibrium Model

Unbalanced use of fossil fuels has made the environmental crisis as major challenge for governments. In the same methods, international and domestic institutions have designed and implemented various policies and plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, which are the cause of environmental pollution. One of the successful policies to reduce emissions is carbon tax policy. Considering the envir...
