The recent economic sanctions against Russia can jeopardize the sustainability of the European Union’s (EU) energy supply. Despite the EU’s strong commitment to stringent abatement targets, fossil fuels still play a significant role in the EU energy policy. And high dependency on Russian...

Nepal is an agrarian country with more than 66% of its population directly engaged in farming, which results in the agricultural and livestock sectors to be the largest contributors towards gross domestic product (GDP). Thus, the main objective of this research is to quantify and analyze the...

The paper investigates quantitatively the economic implications of the various stabilization and adjustment policies, adopted by the Greek government in the period 2008-2013, to deal with the unsustainable public finances. To this end a static computable general equilibrium model is presented,...

As governments around the world are implementing clean electricity supply transition policies to help address climate change, there has been an increased interest in the use of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to estimate associated economic and CO2 impacts. Researchers have used a...

This study constructs a general CGE model for value-added tax (VAT). From limited publicly available VAT data, the model is capable of estimating all VAT statistics at the detailed sectoral level, including estimates of Output VAT, Input VAT, Net VAT, and VAT Refunds to each intermediate input,...

In the absence of sustained federal leadership to address climate change, many US states and cities have implemented their own climate policies. In 2018, the State of Hawai‘i set a goal of sequestering more greenhouse gases (GHGs) annually than emitted no later than 2045. This study builds a...

We analyze the market dynamics that are caused by tariff-rate quotas, particularly the effects of quota license allocation between heterogeneous commodities at the tariff line level. The allocation is endogenously modeled with a mixed complementarity problem approach for the case of the...

Large allocations for fuel subsidies have long put the Government of Malaysia’s budget under great strain. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this paper evaluates the impact of fuel subsidy rationalization on sectoral output and employment. Employment is classified into...
