This paper describes a methodology to develop a Computable General Equilibrium model with a sub-national detail starting from a global database and model presenting the country-level as the highest resolution. This procedure is demonstratively applied to Italy, but can be transferred to any...

The paper presents a polycentric general equilibrium model with congestion externalities and distortionary labor taxation calibrated to fit the key empirical regularities of the regional economy and transport system of Randstad conglomeration. In line with more stylized models, marginal external...

This paper introduces the latest addition to the modelling toolkit of the Central Bank of Malta: a static Computable General Equilibrium model for Malta named MaCGE-MOD. Developed through a collaboration with the University of Macerata, the model is a multiinput, multi-output and multi-sector...

This paper analyzes the global crisis impact on regional economy in Indonesia. Using the multi-region and multi-sector Computable General Equilibrium model, the result shows the magnitude of the impact depends on each provincial global shock exposure. In general, the capital intensive and the...

Division of labor, outsourcing in manufacturing and just-in-time production require the provision of a good and sufficient road infrastructure system. The society is used to mobility, preference for it even increases, and the full benefit of competition can only be realized if special distances...

The study applies a multi-sector multi-household static computable general equilibrium (CGE) tax model to assess the economy-wide impacts of taxes in Vietnam. It examines two tax reform scenarios based on the tax reform plan proposed by the Vietnam Ministry of Finance. The first scenario is...

Validity is a key issue for consumers of computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling services. What assurance can producers of CGE results give to consumers that a CGE analysis: (i) is computationally sound, (ii) uses accurate up-to-date data, (iii) adequately captures behavioral and...

The continuous evolution of the regulatory framework requires the development of analysis instruments able to support the policy maker in designing and quantifying the impact of selected policy measures. With this intent, the Italian Ministry of Economic and Finance developed a static Computable...

The study examines the effects that trade liberalization will have on poverty in Nigeria. Previous studies have been limited by static and partial equilibrium analysis. We use a Dynamic Computable General Equilibrium Model to analyze this issue. The more favorably affected sectors are capital...

We analyse the general equilibrium effects of an asymmetric decrease in transport costs, combining a large scale spatial dynamic general equilibrium model for 267 European NUTS 2 regions with a detailed transport model at the level of individual road segments. As a case study we consider the...
