This paper provides a synthetic narrative of conference sessions devoted to CGE methodology. The three primary drivers of results from models of this kind are functional forms (equation specification), share parameters (calibration data), and structural parameters (elasticities, etc.). In each of these areas, the conference provided interesting and useful insights and discussion. It was clear f...

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models of world trade, often presented as demonstrating the benefits of trade liberalization, now make much more modest forecasts than they did just a few years ago. The estimated benefits are not only small in the aggregate, but also skewed toward developed countries; the expected contribution of trade liberalization to economic development and poverty alle...

1 This paper examines the impact of trade liberalization on poverty reduction in Bangladesh by using Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) analysis. By using CGE analysis we see that WTO and SAFTA have a positive impact of increasing in household welfare in Bangladesh through increasing in household consumption in Bangladesh. The major findings of two simulation results show that under the compl...

â â â  â â â â  abstract â  as the chances of a successful conclusion to the doha round of trade liberalization under the wto become increasingly problematic, so the pace of negotiating local free trade agreements (ftas) is increasing. according to the wto report, countries in the asia-pacific region are “consolidating their drive towards regionalism at an accelerated pace”. after the trade...

this paper examines the effects of agricultural land productivity improvement on the economy of iran assuming that the domestic and international trade liberalizations will open up the opportunities to expand market access. a 25-sector computable general equi-librium model was developed to simulate the effects of this policy. the simulation results indicate that enhancing agricultural land prod...

In this paper, a systematic literature review on the impact of fisheries economy and application computable general equilibrium (CGE) input–output (IO) methods for assessing is conducted. The importance as food source, over exploitation resource, and, consequently, are motivations behind study. By reviewing applications two most common economic modelling tools, we aim to shine light state art h...

We derive and test the predictions of three competing models gift exchange: Classical (CGE); Augmented (AGE) based on unexpected wage surprises; Belief-based (BGE) that uses belief hierarchies to formally model reciprocity guilt-aversion. Following Akerlof (1982), we also introduce signals typical wage, θw, effort level, θe, in similar firms. examine worker's optimal response exogenous variatio...

Abstract This paper presents a methodology to integrate cost–benefit analysis and SAM-CGE-based impact evaluation. While the two types of have developed in parallel without clear connection, there is growing consensus that approaches should be integrated for complex investment projects, since their economic evaluation cannot rely solely on partial equilibrium assumptions (CB) analysis. Unlike C...

Design/methodology/approach present uses computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework econometric approach an integrate...

A energia elétrica é de suma importância para o funcionamento do nosso dia a dia. Pensar em ter que realizar até as tarefas mais básicas sem esse serviço já suficiente causar preocupação às autoridades e sociedade. Neste artigo analisado caso da Companhia Geral Eletricidade (CGE), uma concessionária nacional enfrentou série desafios conseguir gerar distribuir os municípios Caconde Tapiratiba um...
