This study aims to analyse the impact of increased ICT R&D public spending on the European economy using the regional RHOMOLO model. The theoretical motivation for this research stems from ongoing discussion on the complementarity and substitutability between public and private R&D spending, and...

Tourism is an economic activity of immense significance for both developed and developing countries. In recent years, computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have been widely used to investigate the economic effects of tourism. In this paper a tourism CGE model is applied to estimate the...

We compute demand and supply multipliers in order to compare them. These multipliers are computed by using a CGE model. The analysis is applied to two regional economies, Catalonia and Extremadura, so we can compare the results of both economies. We build a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE)...

This study incorporates endogenous and directed technical change in a dynamic, general equilibrium framework, with a bottom-up representation of technologies. On the example of the Austrian transport sector this paper studies the economic impacts of a carbon tax and a subsidy in research and...

This paper suggests a demand side analysis of informal employment characterised by incompliances with labour tax regulation using a general equilibrium model with overlapping generations. A public social insurance provide benefits to formal employees in retirement, while we allow for an informal...

A Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) is a comprehensive, economy-wide data framework of real accounts, typically representing the economy of a nation but also providing the link between the economy and the rest of the world in terms of trade flows. However, in order to have complete picture of the...

This paper deals with the impact of outsourcing from the EU27 to high and low income countries (defined as aggregates from the WIOD database) on employment demand and simultaneously on energy demand and air emissions. The analysis is based on a model of production (Translog cost function and...

The EU 2020 Climate and Energy Package, in force since June 2009, commits the European Union to reduce its overall greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to at least 20% below their 1990 levels by 2020, pursuing the ambition to make Europe a low-carbon and energy-efficient economy over the next decade....

This paper examines the role of electricity production from biomass with and without carbon capture and storage in sustaining low CO 2 emission pathways to 2100. It quantifies the effect of the availability of biomass resources and technologies within a general equilibrium framework. We assess...
