Spatial Computable General Equilibrium Aproach to Generalized Land Use/Transportation Modeling

Spatial Computable General Equilibrium Modeling - Static and Dynamic Approaches

This thesis concerns both static and dynamic modeling in a spatial computable general equilibrium setting. First, we have applied a static framework for the assessment of economic impacts of the Öresund bridge. Secondly, we make an attempt to enhance the static framework through the introduction of economic dynamics. In the first paper we study the economic impacts of the Öresund bridge. We aim...

COMPUTABLE GENERAL EQUILIBRIUM MODELING Numerical Simulations in a 2-Country Monetary General Equilibrium Model

This paper presents the concept of numerical CGE modeling with the help of a 2-country general equilibrium model. In the framework of this simple dynamic monetary model the effects of a (unilateral) monetary and fiscal expansion are simulated. The exchange rate of the home vis-à-vis the foreign currency depreciates in response to both types of shocks. The monetary expansion leads to an increase...

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...

Modeling of Growth and Welfare Effects of Tax Reform in Iran: A Static Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

F or several decades, the selection of a proper tax base has been among the most serious concerns for the economic policy makers. The computable general equilibrium models analysis provides a comprehensive framework for the investigation of the effects of the adopted policies on the economy of a country. In the present study, using a static computable general equilibrium, the effects of tax ref...
