Modelling the Economic Impacts of Migration and Population Growth

Giesecke, James; Meagher, G.A. - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2006

The paper uses MONASH, a dynamic computable general equilibrium model, to investigate the impact on the Australian economy of a 50 per cent increase in the skilled migrant intake over the period 2005-2025. The primary purpose of the modelling it to identify how the labour market might absorb an...

An Implicitly Directly Additive Demand System: Estimates for Australia

Rimmer, Maureen T.; Powell, Alan A. - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 1992

The problem of endowing large applied general equilibrium models with numerical values for parameters is formidable. For example, a complete set of own- and cross-price elasticities of demand for the ORANI model involves 228 squared, or about 60 K items. Invoking the minimal assumptions that...

Disaggregation of results from a detailed general equilibrium model of the US to the State level

Dixon, Peter B.; Rimmer, Maureen T. - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2004

This paper describes the regional extension of USAGE-ITC, a 500-order dynamic CGE model of the US that we are developing in collaboration with the International Trade Commission. With the regional extension, USAGE-ITC can project the effects on employment and output by state of policy and other...

The US economy from 1992 to 1998: results from a detailed CGE model

Dixon, Peter B.; Rimmer, Maureen T. - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2004

This paper describes historical and decomposition simulations undertaken for 1992 to 1998 with a 500-sector CGE model of the US. The historical simulation provides estimates of movements in unobservable technology and preference variables. The decomposition simulation explains developments in...

Analysing a hypothetical Pierce's disease outbreak in South Australia using a dynamic CGE approach

Wittwer, Glyn; McKirdy, Simon; Wilson, Ryan - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2006

A dynamic computable general equilibrium model provides a tool for analysing the regional economic consequences of a hypothetical plant pest incursion. The model is very detailed at the industry and regional level. It includes a theory of regional labour market adjustment. In our example, a...
