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)...

In this paper we explore the sectoral and aggregate implications of some endogeneization rules (i.e. on value-added and final demand) which have been common in the Leontief model and have been recently proposed in the Ghosh model. We detect that these rules may give rise in both models to some...

We explore the sectoral and aggregate implications of some endogeneization rules (i.e. on value-added and final demand) which have been common in the extended demand-driven Leontief model and have been recently proposed in the supply-driven Ghosh model. Extended linear models are refinements...

<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>

In this paper we follow the tradition of applied general equilibrium modelling of the Walrasian static variety to study the empirical viability of a double dividend (green, welfare, and employment) in the Spanish economy. We consider a counterfactual scenario in which an ecotax is levied on the...

The purpose of this article is to analyse the importance of farm subsidies for the Extremadura economy. To this end, a computable general equilibrium model for this region is presented, with which we analyse the economic effects caused by a simulated removal of these subsidies. Different...
