1 Preliminary version, please do not quote. Comments are welcome! ABSTARCT The objective of this paper is to outline our research project about the inclusion of supply-side variables into the CGE framework. Although the model is still in progress, this paper will discuss the basic algorithm we are planning to build in order to include supply-side transmission mechanism into the CGE framework. I...

This paper uses a multi-period economic-environmental CGE modelling framework to analyse the impacts of natural population change and the relaxation of migration constraints in a labour-constrained economy. Population and environmental concerns are core elements of sustainable economic development policy in the target economy of Jersey. Specifically, CGE model simulations are used to track the ...

Special events are typically regarded as major generators of economic activity and jobs. Despite its continued use in event assessment, Input-Output (I-O) analysis has been rejected in other areas of economic impact evaluation in favor of more rigorous evaluation techniques that recognize resource constraints in the economy and interindustry effects of demand shocks. This article discusses trad...

The consensus in the literature investigating the causes of increased wage inequality in developed nations since 1980 is that skill-biased technical change is responsible for the widening of the wage distribution. A shortcoming in this literature is that technical change is commonly determined residually; that is, those changes in relative wages unexplained by other factors are attributed to ch...

This paper presents a sequential methodology that combines a macroeconomic CGE model with a behavioural microsimulation, illustrates the approach with applications, and discusses its merits and shortcomings. The microsimulation, based on a household income generation model, allows for incorporating individual fixed effects into macro-micro analysis. We argue that one of the main merits of the s...

The hygric hypothesis postulates that insect discontinuous gas exchange cycles (DGCs) are an adaptation that reduces respiratory water loss (RWL), but evidence is lacking for reduction of water loss by insects expressing DGCs under normal ecological conditions. Larvae of Erynnis propertius (Lepidoptera: Hesperiidae) naturally switch between DGCs and continuous gas exchange (CGE), allowing flow-...

Abstract Baseline assumptions play a crucial role in conducting consistent quantitative policy assessments for dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models. Two essential factors that influence the determination of baselines are data sources projections and applied calibration methods. We propose general, Bayesian approach can be employed to build baseline any recursive-dynamic CGE model...
