The present paper describes the construction and first empirical application of the SUSTRUS model (the name of the model refers to “Sustainable Russia”). This model will be the main result of the same-named EU funded project. The SUSTRUS model belongs to the group of regional CGE models,...

The notion of sectoral approaches – in which developing and emerging economies are incentivized to undertake efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions intensity or growth in key industrial sectors, potentially with assistance from developed countries – play an important role in the debate...

Multi-sector, multi-region computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are typically based on the most recent consistent accounts of region- and sector-specific production, consumption, bilateral trade and energy flows as provided by the GTAP data base. However, even the most recent data base...

In this paper we develop a model of the urban economy, where the commercial sub center of a city, goes in competition with a peripheral sub center. We consider both centers to be in a spatial asymmetric duopoly, where both centers need to compete for customers and employees. Competition takes...

This work is based on 2 working papers, produced within the NEUJOBS project (www.neujobs.eu). We studied the impact of a number of transport policies in the EU, focussing on the interaction of transport with the labour market. The objective was to determine: - if policies towards promoting...

The paper details construction of a regional social accounting matrix (RSAM) for Russia. The RSAM is constructed for the SUST-RUS regional computable general equilibrium model. The SUST-RUS model is aimed on assessment of sustainable development policies in Russia. In the process of the RSAM...

The creation and accumulation of knowledge constitutes without any doubt one of the major drivers of progress and development. The incontrovertible evidence of that creative process is present everywhere in our daily routines and societies. However, it is rather difficult to define a measure of...

The WIOD database allows for improved empirical analysis on a wide range of important environmental research questions. In this paper we demonstrate the scientific potential of the WIOD database and give answers for very urgent policy questions on the impacts of international trade and...

We assess recent Chinese climate policy proposals in a multi-region, multi-sector computable general equilibrium model with a Chinese carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS). We conduct a quantitative assessment of the Chinese emissions trading scheme (ETS) with the help of PACE (Policy Analysis...
