Abstract In response to rapidly growing energy demands, Chinese authorities plan invest more in hydropower development. However, there are concerns about the possible effects on macroeconomy. This paper uses SinoTERM, a dynamic multi-regional computable general equilibrium model (CGE) of economy, analyze economic impact large development projects. The features regional labor market dynamics and...

Myanmar is facing climate change (CC) induced changes to the productivity of their critically important rice sector over coming century. Moreover, recent five-year Myanmarese Agriculture Development Strategy (ADS) sets out a vision achieving an ‘…inclusive, competitive, food and nutrition secure, resilient, sustainable agricultural system…’ by 2030. In this paper, we investigate pillar ADS stra...

This chapter is a simple, rigorous, practically-oriented exposition of computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. The general algebraic framework of a CGE model is developed from microeconomic fundamentals, and employed to illustrate (i) how a model may be calibrated using the economic data in a social accounting matrix, (ii) how the resulting system of numerical equations may be solved for...

A computable general equilibrium (CGE) approach is used to assess the macroeconomic effects of global and regional catastrophic losses of pollination ecosystem services. Results show economic risks to both direct crop sectors and indirect non-crop sectors in the economy, with a substantial amount of regional heterogeneity. In addition, there exists potential for winners, those regions with a co...
