The Impact of the Trade Liberalization on the Women Work. Comparative Analyzes Between the South Africa and the Ethiopia with an Impact of the General Equilibrium Calculable

Lulit, Mitik; Berthomieu, Claude - In: Panoeconomicus 55 (2008) 1, pp. 69-88

The effects of trade liberalisation on female labour depend on a countrys socio-economic and employment sector characteristics. A Gender-aware computable general equilibrium model is applied to Ethiopia and South Africa from a comparative perspective. Tarif reduction results in opposite outcomes...

The Effects of DR-CAFTA in Nicaragua A CGE-Microsimulation Model for Poverty and Inequality Analysis

Colombo, Giulia - Verein für Socialpolitik, Ausschuss für … - 2008

In this paper, we build a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE)-microsimulation model for the economy of Nicaragua following the Top-Down approach (see Bourguignon et al., 2003), that is, the reform is simulated first at the macro level with the CGE model, and then it is passed onto the...

Would border carbon adjustments prevent carbon leakage and heavy industry competitiveness losses? Insights from a meta-analysis of recent economic studies

Branger, Frédéric; Quirion, Philippe - In: Ecological Economics 99 (2014) C, pp. 29-39

The efficiency of unilateral climate policies may be hampered by carbon leakage and competitiveness losses. A widely discussed policy option to reduce leakage and protect competitiveness of heavy industries is to impose border carbon adjustments (BCAs). The estimation of carbon leakage as well...

The added value from a general equilibrium analysis of increased efficiency in household energy use

Lecca, Patrizio; McGregor, Peter G.; Swales, J. Kim; … - In: Ecological Economics 100 (2014) C, pp. 51-62

This paper investigates the economic impact of a 5% improvement in the UK household energy efficiency, focussing specifically on total energy rebound effects. The impact is measured through simulations using models that have increasing degrees of endogeneity but are calibrated on a common data...

International price transmission in CGE models: How to reconcile econometric evidence and endogenous model response?

Siddig, Khalid; Grethe, Harald - In: Economic Modelling 38 (2014) C, pp. 12-22

Equilibrium (CGE) models. The missing reconciliation among these tools could be due to PTA often being concerned with high … of price transmission in CGE models. Due to this endogeneity, the calibration of CGE models to empirically observed price … certain level of price transmission. This paper aims at paving the way for the integrated use of PTA and CGE models by …

Trade policy in Palestine: A reassessment

Missaglia, Marco; Valensisi, Giovanni - In: Journal of Policy Modeling 36 (2014) 5, pp. 899-923

The paper develops a CGE macro-model for Palestine, departing in three fundamental ways from the set-up applied in earlier studies. The present framework: (i) reformulates the modelling of fiscal policy in light of context-specific elements, including the absence of a government bond market and...

Policy implications of resource constraints on the European economy

Kratena, Kurt; Sommer, Mark - WWWforEurope - 2014

It is expected that binding biophysical constraints have the potential to slow growth and impede the improvement of other key macroeconomic variables. Using a DYNK (Dynamic New Keynesian) model of the EU27, we study two different environmental policy options and evaluate their impact on...

Shifting Armington trade preferences: A re-examination of the Mercosur–EU negotiations

Philippidis, G.; Resano, H.; Sanjuán, A.I. - In: Economic Modelling 40 (2014) C, pp. 21-32

This paper examines the ‘small share’ problem inherent within the constant elasticity of substitution Armington specification. As a de facto research tool in the quantitative trade literature, this structural bias plagues the results of numerous multi-region CGE studies. Kuiper and van...
