Calibration of Computable General Equilibrium Models from Synthetic Benchmark Equilibrium Data Sets

Sustainability Impact Assessment: the Use of Computable General Equilibrium Models

This paper advocates computable general equilibrium (CGE) models as an analytical framework that is suitable for assessing the impacts of policy interference on the three dimensions of Sustainable Development, i.e. environmental quality, economic performance and equity. Methodological extensions of standard CGE models are illustrated that may strengthen the role of CGE models in measuring polic...

Integrating bioenergy into computable general equilibrium models: a survey

In the past years biofuels have received increased attention since they were believed to contribute to rural development, energy security and to fight global warming. It became also clear, though, that bioenergy cannot be evaluated independently of the rest of the economy and that national and international feedback effects are important. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have been wi...

A Complementarity Approach to Solving Computable General Equilibrium Models

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models play a central role in modern economic modeling, bearing on a wide range of important applications in international climate and trade policies, growth and development of countries, national income distribution and equality studies. We formulate a canonical CGE model as a complementarity problem and introduce CIM-EARTH, a collection of open-source exte...

Land Use in Computable General Equilibrium Models: An Overview*

Identifiability of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Models with Covariance Restrictions

This article is concerned with identification problem of parameters of Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium Models with emphasis on structural constraints, so that the number of observable variables is equal to the number of exogenous variables. We derived a set of identifiability conditions and suggested a procedure for a thorough analysis of identification at each point in the parameters sp...
