Taxation Reforms: A CGE-Microsimulation Analysis for Pakistan

Carbon taxation and market structure: A CGE analysis for Russia

Russia is one of the world’s major sources of carbon based energy as well as one its most intensive users. Introducing carbon taxes can lead to a reduction in emissions and encourage investment in energy efficiency. We investigate the economic effects of carbon taxes on the Russian economy under perfect competition and a Cournot oligopoly in output markets. The main findings are: (i) substituti...

Microsimulation, CGE and Macro Modelling for Transition and Developing Economies

Reform of Australian urban transport: A CGE-microsimulation analysis of the effects on income distribution

a r t i c l e i n f o Australian urban transport industries experienced substantial reform during the 1990s leading to significant structural change. Urban transport is typically an important expenditure item for households and structural change in these services may affect households differently depending on their position in the distribution of income and expenditure. We estimate the effects ...

Combining Microsimulation with CGE and Macro Modelling for Distributional Analysis in Developing and Transition Countries

This paper overviews recent work that has attempted to bring together microsimulation, Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and macro models to perform distributional analysis in developing and transition countries. Particular attention is paid to applications relating to aspects of economic growth and political economy. Applications in which macro, CGE and microsimulation models are either lay...

Using CGE and Microsimulation Models for Income Distribution Analyses: A Survey

This paper carries out a survey of CGE and Microsimulation models used in the evaluation of issues related directly or indirectly to incomes distribution. Different model structures are discussed which have been employed for country-specific, multi-country and region-specific studies. The paper considers the relevance of a relatively recent approach in modeling_linking CGE frameworks with micro...
