The authors calibrate two static computable general-equilibrium (CGE) models with 16 and 5999 representative households. Aggregated and disaggregated household categories are consistently embedded in a 2000 social accounting matrix (SAM) for Vietnam, mapping on a one-to-one basis. Distinct...

This paper is related to a large recent literature studying the Phillips curve in sticky-price equilibrium models. It differs in allowing for the degree of price stickiness to be determined endogenously. A closed-form solution for short-term inflation is derived from the dynamic stochastic...

Dynamic multi-sector computable general equilibrium (CGE) models often utilize investment aggregation according to fixed shares. The question is, do these models come to the same policy conclusions as CGE models that derive sectoral investment shares by optimal household decisions in a framework...

By using the most recent data, the objective of this study is to build a dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for Turkey. By employing alternative assumptions on alternative fiscal austerity measures undertaken by government, the model conducts some simulations. In regard to the...

Ten countries - most completing their transition from socialist-based economies to market economies - are slated to join the European Union (EU) in 2004 and four additional countries are expected to become members at some future dates. Despite a relatively small economic size of the accession...

China's accelerated global emergence has changed trade patterns in the Asia-Pacific region and exerted important influence on its trilateral relationship with Japan and the United States. In this paper, we evaluate the effects of multilateral and regional trade policy scenarios that are...

This paper describes CSF, a general equilibrium model encompassing factors of relevance to economic efficiency in Federal/State funding including: interstate differences in tax bases and unit costs of State-provided goods; factor mobility; congestion; State-government behaviour incorporating the...
