Traditional computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have ignored uncertainty ─ even when applied to fields such as environmental modeling that are replete with economic uncertainty. In contrast, many control theory models have focused on the effects of uncertainty. Thus marrying the tradition of CGE and control modeling can result in pricequantity models with explicit dynamics and careful t...

This paper details the construction of a large-scale computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for a single U.S. region. The model contains detailed treatment of margins and taxes, features not typically given prominence in U.S. regional CGE models. The starting point for the core of the CGE model’s data base is information from IMPLAN, producers of regional I/O data at the U.S. county and sta...

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...

The negative impact of the outbreak of bird flu on economic sectors in the partial and macro research will be analyzed using CGE models (Computable General Equilibrium). The result of the simulation studies indicate that the sector directly affected by the outbreak of bird flu poultry sectors are a traditional, medium large poultry meat and eggs. While the sectors that are indirectly affected s...

In this study, we use the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to examine welfare and growth effects of expanding grain-based fuel ethanol production in China. The results show that reasonable development of grain-based fuel ethanol will accelerate China’s economy, improve rural household income, and narrow the gap between the rich and the poor. However, expanding the production of grain-...

BACKGROUND Computable general equilibrium models are known as a powerful instrument in economic analyses and widely have been used in order to evaluate trade liberalization effects. The purpose of this study was to provide the impacts of trade openness on pharmaceutical industry using CGE model. METHODS Using a computable general equilibrium model in this study, the effects of decrease in tar...

The main objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of technology transfer through the imports of intermediate goods by developing countries developed countries with the emphasis on Iran economy. For this purpose, we used multi-sectoral and multi–regional computable general equilibrium GTAP model (multi-sectoral and multi-regional CGE model). The paper examined the effect of a ten pe...
