Due to the high concentration of economic activity along the low-lying coastal zone of the Nile delta and its dependence on Nile river streamflow, Egypt's economy is highly exposed to adverse climate change. Adaptation planning requires a forward-lookingn assessment of climate change impacts on...

This study provides an ex-ante computable general equilibrium assessment of the planned Tripartite Free Trade Agreement between the member states of the Common Market for Eastern and Southern Africa, the East African Community and the Southern African Development. Community. The analytical...

Vietnam is planning to implement a new environmental tax law in 2012. The objective of the study is to provide a predictive quantitative evaluation of the impacts of the proposed draft environmental tax law of Vietnam on producer and user prices, sectoral output and employment, the commodity...

CGE models usually assume extremes of factor mobility: factors either move between industries without cost or they do not move at all. With the assumption of mobile factors, simulations lead to reallocation of factors among different sectors of the economy which often vary strongly in factor...

Since the latter half of 1990s, it has been discussed that many developing countries are going to face serious population aging problem while these economies are still underdeveloped and not adequately prepared against aging yet in terms of institutional reform such as social security. As the...

This study aims to analyse the impact of increased ICT R&D public spending on the European economy using the regional RHOMOLO model. The theoretical motivation for this research stems from ongoing discussion on the complementarity and substitutability between public and private R&D spending, and...

During the 12th Five-Year Plan (FYP) period of China (2011-2015), Chinese government set the carbon intensity emission reduction target for the first time. This target is allocated to all the provinces in China without a trading mechanism. In our study, we aim to evaluate the impact among...

Tourism is an economic activity of immense significance for both developed and developing countries. In recent years, computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have been widely used to investigate the economic effects of tourism. In this paper a tourism CGE model is applied to estimate the...

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)...

This study incorporates endogenous and directed technical change in a dynamic, general equilibrium framework, with a bottom-up representation of technologies. On the example of the Austrian transport sector this paper studies the economic impacts of a carbon tax and a subsidy in research and...
