This study deals with the economic effects of a firm's social security taxes in the Catalan economy, using an applied general equilibrium model. A novel aspect of the analysis is that it hypothesizes about the incidence of firm's contributions on both employers and employees. The results of a...

In economic literature, some information deficiencies and computational complexities have traditionally been solved through the aggregation of data. In input--output (IO) modelling, researchers have been interested in aggregation since the 1950s. Extending the conventional IO aggregation...

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)...

<Para ID="Par1">The traditional literature to identify key sectors, based on an input–output demand-side approach, evaluates the impact on sectoral production of the exogenous inflows to activities. This approach has been the centre of an important debate, based on the lack of robustness of the results...</para>

Llop M. and Manresa A. (2007) Analysis of linear multipliers in an open regional economy, Regional Studies 41, 421-428. Since Round's pioneering contribution in 1985, the conventional approach for analysing the interdependences between economic systems involves multi-regional or multi-country...

This paper analyses the economic impact of alternative water policies implemented on the Spanish production system. The methodology comprises two versions of the input-output price model: an average cost formulation and a mark-up formulation. The input-output framework evaluates the impact of...

The complexity of the connections within an economic system can only be reliably reflected in academic research if powerful methods are used. Researchers have used structural path analysis (SPA) to capture not only the linkages within the production system but also the propagation of the effects...
