A partir d’un modèle dynamique d’équilibre général appliqué au Costa Rica, les auteurs analysent les liens entre l’environnement, le commerce international et la croissance économique. Leur étude envisage les conséquences des politiques commerciales et environnementales sur...

With the aid of a computable general equilibrium model, this paper estimates for India the magnitude of spillovers from limiting growth of greenhouse gas emissions to local air quality and the health of the urban population. The most important spillovers are reductions in emissions of...

Assessing the final impact of globalisation on poverty is a difficult task: <I>i) </I> globalisation affects poverty through numerous channels; <I>ii)</I> some linkages are positive and some are negative and therefore cannot be analysed qualitatively but require quantitative assessments, i.e. formal numerical...</i></i>

The document lists all the key structural and behavioural equations, providing a justification for the chosen model...</i></i></i></i></i>

The quest for large numbers has been going on for some time in international trade economics: models of trade liberalisation have consistently produced results that, compared <I>ex post</I> with real world data, show the right sign but the “wrong” magnitudes. This paper proposes a new approach by...</i>

This paper reports on the construction of an Input-Output table for the economy of Morocco. The table is calibrated to the year 1990 and details the interactions between 133 primary, manufacturing, and service sectors, relying on a combination of a more aggregate table estimated by the Moroccan...

Globalisation, governance and economic performance affect each other in very complex mutual relationships. In this paper, we establish a clear and well-circumscribed hypothesis: “is there an effect of globalisation <I>on</I> governance?” To test this hypothesis or, even more specifically, to test...</i>

Nonsurvey methods, including methods of constructing regional input-output tables, reconciling estimates, and deriving sectoral multipliers where no input-output table exists, are critically evaluated from a theoretical point of view as well as in the light of available evidence. There are a...

Over many past decades countries in sub-Saharan Africa have received extensive bilateral and multilateral aid in support of the production of relevant, timely, and good quality data and statistics. But assessing aid effectiveness in the statistical area i

The decomposition of a matrix multiplier derived from a social accounting matrix (SAM) by Pyatt and Round [(1979). Accounting and Fixed Price Multipliers in a Social Accounting Matrix Framework. <italic>Economic Journal</italic>, 89, 850--873] has prompted a number of subsequent applications. In one of the...
