Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models play a central role in modern economic modeling, bearing on a wide range of important applications in international climate and trade policies, growth and development of countries, national income distribution and equality studies. We formulate a canonical CGE model as a complementarity problem and introduce CIM-EARTH, a collection of open-source exte...

This paper assesses the economic impacts of the Swiss climate policy formulated under the Kyoto Protocol; the impacts on the carbon price, the welfare cost, and trade effects are examined. Our analysis is based on a multi-sectoral and multi-regional, computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the world economy (GEMINI-E3) which includes a representation of the Swiss economy. The model is use...

This agent-based model uses the building blocks of a Computable General Equilibrium model, but instead of assuming equilibrium, it explicitly models the price formation and investment processes using money as the medium of exchange. This model gives us several insights that CGE models do not: first, we can check whether or not the results of the CGE models still hold without the equilibrium ass...

The objective of this work is to analyze the effects of decrease in water subsidies (increase in the price of the water) on various economic sectors in order to promote the conservation of this resource based on the actual price of water. But over the past decades, various subsidizing methods hold the cost of water down. On the other hand, the indiscriminate use of these resources led the gover...

this paper estimates the effects of increase in iran’s non-oil exports on its economic growth as well as sectoral outputs, using a single country, comparative static, exogenous policy computable general equilibrium (cge) model. the paper also investigates the share of tradable sectors in reaching to the targeted growth rate (8%) in 5th socio-economic development plan. for this purpose, the para...

Numerical economic models of energy fall into two general categories: models analyzing within energy sector issues and models examining the interaction between the energy sector and the rest of the economy. The first category are mostly partial equilibrium models with a very detailed and disaggregated representation of the energy sector. Although very useful for sector planning purposes this cl...

The current tourism industry has the problems of low service efficiency, poor coordinated development, and slow economic growth in terms volume growth. This paper is based on computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. Firstly, a CGE data analysis model bee colony intensive breakthrough algorithm established to store analyze whole chain tourism. Then, combined with comparative over years, it fe...

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...

 Trade liberalization is often the core attention of foreign economic strategies in developing countries. Findings in the literature confirm a significant effect of free trade on developing economies through which the economic sectors benefit from technology transfer and spillovers and increasing production capacities and input productivity leading to international competitiveness. On the other...
