This paper examines the relative effect of changes in tax rates under three differing taxation schemes. Unlike previous modeling attempts, our analysis is performed at a relatively small scale, namely that of a city. We use a data intensive computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of a small city and attempt to analyze the effects on local residents’ real incomes, city revenues and economic g...

This study assesses the economy-wide impacts of private investment in hotel industry Jamaica. Specifically, paper develops a tourism-extended social accounting matrix (SAM) and dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model tailored to Jamaican economy. To analyse terms poverty inequality, CGE results are linked with microsimulation model. The demonstrate that tourism investments leading an...

Purpose The first purpose of this study is to examine the impacts climate-caused cereal productivity changes on food security, welfare and GDP in South Asian countries. second assess agricultural subsidies Asia Free Trade Agreement (SAFTA) as policy responses climate change. Design/methodology/approach present uses computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework econometric approach an integrate...

Abstract Previous research has acknowledged that climate change is likely to expand the wealth gap, and policies may further increase inequality. Nevertheless, little focused on how affect To address this, we employ a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model quantify inequality impacts of Chinese carbon taxes. Our CGE results show tax are influenced by distribution damages, payments, recyclin...

Abstract Despite the significant impacts of technology on socioeconomic effects climate policies, many previous researchers neglected induced technical and thus resulted in biased evaluations policies. Hence, it is important that should be endogenized policy evaluation framework. The purpose this paper quantification Chinese carbon tax using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. are den...

This paper provides a quantitative assessment of the likely economy-wide impacts of agricultural productivity improvements in Sri Lanka. A static multi sector Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model of the Sri Lankan economy using the input-output table for year 2000 is employed highlighting the agricultural sector and its interactions with other production sectors in the economy. The result...

This paper compares the theoretical and functional specification of production in partial equilibrium (PE) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models of the global agricultural and food system included in the AgMIP model comparison study. The two model families differ in their scope—partial versus economywide—and in how they represent technology and the behavior of supply and demand in mar...
