Measuring Welfare Effects of the US-China Trade War Using General Equilibrium Models
… (Global Trade Analysis Project) CGE (Computable General Equilibrium) model. Five scenarios focused on economic decoupling are ana- lyzed: 1. Mutual tariff levels increased to 25%, 2. Mutual tariff levels increased to 45%, 3. Bilateral export levels decreased by 25%, 4. Bilateral export levels …

Induced technical change in computable general equilibrium models for climate-change policy analysis
… The analysis is conducted using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the US economy-a numerical simulation that determines aggregate welfare based on the interaction of prices with the demands for and supplies of commodities and factors across different markets. Within the model …

Bioproducts and environmental quality: biofuels, greenhouse gases, and water quality
… associated with biofuel production using general equilibrium models. The first essay develops a theoretical general equilibrium model to calculate the second-best GHG tax with the existence of a nitrogen leaching distortion. The results indicate that the second-best GHG tax could be higher …

Rural urban migration in developing countries : a survey of economic theory and empirical evidence
… and simulation techniques of the computable general equilibrium models (CGE) are then discussed and their merits assessed.

Three essays on energy and environmental economics: empirical, applied, and theoretical
… regarding the construction of analytical general equilibrium models that can be used to study topics in energy and environmental economics.

Three Essays On Applied General Equilibrium Analysis
… of the parameters of a fully specified general equilibrium model, estimation of import and export demand elasticities with some general equilibrium (GE) closure rule and formulating a decomposition algorithm for GE models with proper structure. While the questions addressed are somewhat …

Transport under Emission Trading
… emission trading using two different Computable General Equilibrium models. A static multi-region model with special emphasis on the European Union, addresses the welfare impact of road transport under the European Emission Trading System. Including terms-of-trade effects, this model does not …

A comparison of cost-containment instruments for US carbon reduction policies
… The results presented rely on two computable general equilibrium models developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and show the predicted performance of these instruments under a simulated range of economic outcomes.

Symbiotic transfer, arbitrage, and equilibrium
We lay a unified foundation for a theory of general equilibrium by proving the existence of an equilibrium for a grand model which covers all the well-known general equilibrium models under the convexity and continuity assumptions. The grand model allows an economy to have an extended list of …

CONGESTION CHARGE AND REMOTE WORKING: POLICY INSIGHTS FROM SPATIAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELS
… at the city-regional level. Existing spatial general equilibrium models are extended and then applied to quantify the spatial effects. The structure of the paper-based thesis is as follows. Chapter 1 presents the overall analytical framework and the interdependence of the three papers to be …

Timber supply in dynamic general equilibrium
… Different discrete-time dynamic timber supply models and their solution methods are compared and their common elements derived. A continuous-time model is derived, but not solved. The discrete-time timber supply model is then incorporated into a dynamic multi-sector model and a dynamic general …

Essays in mineral and energy policy
… which are commonly employed in partial and general equilibrium models. The exemplary application of the calibration technique focuses on fitting models' implicit abatement cost functions to bottom-up, engineering estimates. A key benefit of this calibration method is that the elasticities …

Three Essays On Monetary Policy In Economies With Financial Frictions
… the task, we develop Dynamic Stochastic General equilibrium models with financial frictions. In the first chapter, we develop a model to analytically determine the appropriate price index to target in the presence of financial frictions (where a fraction of households are constrained to …

Essays on Volatility Risk and Security Returns
… the determinants of expected option returns and equilibrium determinants of variance risk and the variance risk premium. In the first essay, I analyze the relation between expected option returns and the volatility of the underlying securities. In the Black-Scholes-Merton and stochastic …

Price formation under uncertainty
… to the price formation process. Since general competitive analysis lacks a coherent explanation of how expectations are formulated it is difficult to promote theories that assume agents have no structural knowledge in favour of theories that assume agents have significant structural …

A computable general equilibrium analysis of a statewide fiscal reform: the case of Michigan's 1993-3 property tax reform
A computable general equilibrium model analyzes the tax effects of simultaneously reducing property taxes by 44 percent and increasing the rate of sales taxation from four to six percent in Michigan in 1994. The dissertation fills the void in the literature for empirical regional computable general …

Movement of heterogeneous goods and people.
Applied General Equilibrium models of trade failed to predict the sectoral changes in trade volumes following the Canada-US Free Trade Agreement. These models utilized a representative firm framework and used econometric estimates for the elasticities of substitution between home and foreign goods. …
