This paper uses a multi-period economic-environmental Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling framework to analyse local sustainability policy issues. Our focus is the small, open, labour-constrained regional economy of Jersey. The case of Jersey is of particular interest for two main...

Professor Thirlwall has argued that the growth rate of a country is constrained by the requirement that the external current account must broadly balance. He maintains that a country's growth can be analysed using a dynamic Harrod trade multiplier, and that a country's long-run growth rate (y)...

In its initial formulation, the full Leontief (1970) environmental model augments the conventional Input-Output (IO) table by introducing pollution generation and separately identified pollution elimination sectors. Essentially it extends IO analysis to incorporate the use of a 'common pool'...

Examines the theory of regional equilibria in the presence of endogenous migration, where net migration flows are determined by real consumption wage and unemployment‐rate differentials. Provides a theoretical analysis of market clearing and steady state concepts of equilibrium and examines...

Lisenkova K., McGregor P. G., Pappas N., Swales J. K., Turner K. and Wright R. E. Scotland the grey: a linked demographic-computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis of the impact of population ageing and decline, Regional Studies. This paper links a multi-period economic computable general...

In this paper, publicly available cost data are used to calculate the private levelised costs of two marine energy technologies for UK electricity generation: Wave and Tidal Stream power. These estimates are compared to those for ten other electricity generation technologies whose costs were...

In this paper we consider the nature of possible equilibria in a regional economic system characterised by an absence of net migration flows but the presence of gross flows. We argue that the presence of gross flows in a stationary equilibrium is most easily generated through the introduction of...

This paper is concerned with the deflator(s) used to obtain series measured in real terms in 'the' consumption function. Since the precise deflator(s) to be used in any particular specification is not uniquely determined by theoretical considerations alone we consider ways of approaching the...

This paper investigates the performance of a number of recently proposed 'consumption functions' using annual Scottish and UK data for the period 1971 to 1985. Whilst the exercise is 'atheoretical' in the sense that no attempt is made to tie estimated models to specific theories, the influences...
