Quebec’s forests represent 20% of the Canadian forest and 2% of world forests. They play a major role for habitat preservation, supplying goods and services to the population. Climate change will have an impact on the forest through inter alia increased droughts, forest fires, warmer weather...

Budget deficit, exchange rate fluctuation and high fuel world price provides a pressure on budget capacity to stimulate the Indonesian economy. The government has designed several fiscal policies, including reducing the fuel subsidy. The study objective is to analyse the impact of reducing fuel...

This paper presents an integrated model of urban agglomeration economies within a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of global economic activity, energy use and carbon emissions to explore the theoretical and empirical nature of the interdependence of cities and the world economy in a...

This methodological report describes the steps and the modelling developments foreseen to include a more explicit ecosystem dimension inside the recursive-dynamic Intertemporal Computable Equilibrium System (ICES) Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. The modelling strategy hinges upon the...

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are widely used to analyse macroeconomic and sectoral effects of climate policies. Developing new and improving existing carbon-free energy technologies will be crucial to limit the long-term economic costs of mitigation policies. Such technologies are...

This report describes the first release of the macroeconomic model developed under the project Prospective Insights on R&D in ICT (PREDICT 2), a research project co-financed by the Directorate General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology and the JRC-IPTS. One of the objectives of...

We present a multi-country, multi-sector dynamic general equilibrium model with ICT and R&D-driven endogenous growth. The model presented has been developed to study the economic effects of public support to ICT R&D in the European Union. It accommodates alternative policy instruments that could...

European integration changes the prospects of regional economies within the Member States of the European Union in many ways. Cohesion policy is the EU's instrument to influence and complement the efforts at the national level to ensure that the gains of economic integration reach everyone, and...

Climate effects of unilateral carbon policies are undermined by carbon leakage. To counteract leakage and increase global cost-effectiveness carbon tariffs can be imposed on the emissions embodied in imports from non-regulating regions. We present a theoretical analysis on the economic...
