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...

Myanmar has, in recent years, strengthened its focus on human capital as a development pillar, and introduced legislation adopted conventions child labour. But exploitation continues, including use of forced labour by the military children performing hazardous work. Moreover, faces rapidly closing window opportunity within which to train workforce meet future challenges declining population gro...

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...

Abstract The Japanese government plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 80% 2050. However, it is not yet clear which policy measures the will adopt achieve this goal. In regard, environmental tax reform, combination of carbon regulation and reduction existing distortionary taxes, has attracted much attention. This paper examines effects an reform in Japan. Using a dynamic computable genera...
