Demographic Changes and Regional Economy: Simulation Results From the Chicago CGE Model
… a two-region computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, combined with an overlapping generations (OLG) framework. The first finding is that the aging population has significant negative impacts on Chicago economy, which are quite similar to the results found in the previous studies at the …

VAT Reform in a Developing Country. A CGE Model with an Informal Sector
I develop a computable general equilibrium model that quantifies the redistributive effects and the efficiency gains of broadening the base of the Value Added Tax (VAT) by removing the zero-rating of food. I incorporate an informal retail sector in the supply of goods with two distinctive features: …

A computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with endogenous labor supply for the study of income taxation in Indonesia
The personal income tax in Indonesia has grown in revenue importance since major changes in 1984 broadened its base and lowered its bracket rates. Currently, the personal income tax and the corporate income tax are the second most important sources of government revenue in Indonesia. This thesis …

The economics of US greenhouse gas emissions reduction policy : assessing distributional effects across households and the 50 United States using a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model
… dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to estimate the economic effects of a US "cap-and-dividend" policy, by simulating the implementation of the Carbon Limits and Energy for America's Renewal (CLEAR) Act, a bill proposed by Senators Cantwell (D-WA) and Collins (R-ME) in …

Integrated Assessment of Structural Change and Sustainability in the Chicago Region
… systems are becoming stronger, regional economic modeling is necessary to reflect the recent structural changes of economy and the nature of environmental component. Another issue is that the uncertainty and errors exist in data, assumptions and estimations in regional economic modeling. This …

A CGE Analysis of the Employment Double Dividend-Hypothesis : Substitution Patterns in Production, Foreign Trade, and Labour Market Imperfections
… tax reforms in a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model framework for 14 countries of the European Union. The literature survey points to three main determinants for the EDD outcome in empirical models: the substitution elasticities in production, the foreign trade, and the labour market …

Industrial protection and income distribution in Thailand
… Based on a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, this thesis attempts to answer the question: ’What would be the income distribution impact of a move from the 1987 system of industrial protection towards free trade?’ The answer to this question contributes to empirical knowledge in the …

Policy experiments for the Saudi’s economy using a Computable General Equilibrium Model (CGE): oil demand and tariff liberalisation effects on the Saudi economy
… analysis using a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model for the economy of Saudi Arabia and of the possible effects of some policy measures. It further explains the mechanisms through which they affect different economic agents. Using a static CGE Model, we show the possible micro and …

Social accounting matrice and computable general equilibrium modelling in South Africa with reference to the financial sector
… (SAMs) and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models to give quantitative support in the formulation of income redistribution policies. A SAM can be defined as a numerical representation of the economic cycle with emphasis on income distribution. A CGE model can be defined as an …

A computable general equilibrium analysis of the proposed build plans as presented in the integrated resource plan
… plan for the electricity sector. The current modelling approach used in the IRP is unable to quantify the effects on various policy goals that the plan is likely to have. This thesis uses a CGE model to analyse the plan in terms of some of these policy goals in an attempt to fill this …

Incidence of value-added tax in Indonesia: A general equilibrium analysis
… study utilizes a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model designed for an open economy to analyze the incidence of a consumption-type value-added tax (VAT) in Indonesia. Tax incidence is broadly defined to include the impact of the VAT on relative commodity prices, demand and supply of products, …

Currency devaluation and resource mobilization in the agricultural sector: Welfare and trade balance implications in Cameroon
… income and welfare distribution in Cameroon. The CGE model of Cameroon used in the current study has been formulated not only to emphasize the relative price changes that take place across sectors in the economy, but also to capture two complementary issues. First a disaggregation of the …

Quantitative analysis of alternative transportation under environmental constraints
… option within a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the economy. The transportation sector accounts for an important part of CO2 emissions and analyses that have imposed carbon limits on the economy have shown relatively limited reductions in transportation emissions with current …

An analysis of the potential socio-economic impacts of shale gas development in South Africa
… use of a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model adapted for the South African energy sector to analyse the potential socio-economic impacts of the development of shale gas. Simulation results indicate potential negative impacts on GDP contribution by all the sectors simulated, except …

Welfare distortions of climate change policies
… of welfare loss in computer general equilibrium (CGE) models, so as to further understand the issue. The MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a large-scale computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, simulates trends in global economics and greenhouse gas emissions. Utilizing …

The Impact of capital intensive farming in Thailand: a computable general equilibrium approach
… Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model was developed for the Thai economy. The CGE model is employed to simulate the impact of capital-intensive farming on the Thai economy under two different forces: technological change and free trade. Four simulations were conducted. …
