The present article presents a discussion of the methods generally adopted to build the database and to estimate the parameters that requires the implementation of computable general equilibrium models. Basically, this paper deals with “calibration” procedures for CGE models, which are...

Using the methodology of simulations from a model dynamic computable general equilibrium, which includes a module that involves behavior of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) assesses the potential macroeconomic and social effects of different ways to achieve those objectives in Colombia....

The New World Screwworm (NWS) fly causes a parasitic disease that produces large losses in Uruguayan livestock farming - mainly due to the working hours devoted to its prevention and treatment and the death of sheep. In this paper, we apply a dynamic computable general equilibrium model to...

En este estudio se investigan los impactos, tanto económicos como aquellos sobre el capital natural y servicios ecosistémicos, de tres programas de conservación en México. Más precisamente, se analizan el programa de pago por servicios ambientales, el programa para reducir las emisiones en...

The aim of this paper is to analyze the spillover effects of national and local tax policies in Argentina. To this aim, I develop a static bi-regional general equilibrium model for the Buenos Aires City (CABA) and the rest of Argentina. The BAC is relevant for the rest of the country because it...

The Computable General Equilibrium model, based on the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model, is used to evaluate the impact of separate bilateral free trade agreements by Colombia, Ecuador and Peru with the United States of America (USA). As the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication...

Mercosur is currently going through an intermediate integration stage in which macroeconomic interdependence acquires more importance. Then, the need arises to adopt strategic definitions with regard to the future of the process itself. The study examines macroeconomic interdependence with a...

Throughout our history we have demonstrated the relationship between the decisions of energetic character, economy and the environment. For this reason is that they begin to develop and implement energetic modeling techniques as alternative tools for both the development of energy policies, and...
