This chapter is an introduction to the subject of computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling in environmental and resource economics. CGE models are a widely-used tool for the quasi-empirical analysis of environmental externalities—and policies for mitigating them—which are large enough to influence prices across multiple markets in the economy. We provide a simple, rigorous, and practically...

For two decades, the Thai government has been promoting ethanol and biodiesel consumption through tax measures price subsidies. Although this policy substantially increased production of biofuels, there is concern regarding its future fiscal burden. Due to constraints, planned completely terminate biofuel subsidy by 2022. This study aims at examining economy-wide impacts removing also conductin...

The paper aims to analyze the impact of public investments generated by implementing Emerging Senegal Plan (ESP) on economic growth and gender inequalities observed in labor market Senegal. A dynamic computable general equilibrium modeling was carried out for this purpose using a social accounting matrix (SAM) based an extensive segmentation according socio-professional category. results prove ...

The Hahn–Banach Theorem plays a crucial role in the second fundamental theorem of welfare economics. To date, all mathematical economics and advanced general equilibrium textbooks concentrate on using non-constructive or incomputable versions of this celebrated theorem. In this paper we argue for the introduction of constructive or computable Hahn–Banach theorems in mathematical economics and a...

There is a growing awareness in recent years that the interdependencies among the civil infrastructure systems have significant economic, security and engineering implications that may influence their resiliency, efficiency and effectiveness. To capture the various types of infrastructure interdependencies and incorporate them into decision-making processes in various application domains, Zhang...
