For sustainable economic development, a continuous and successful transformation is critical, supporting requires better understanding of the close interaction between technology skill at micro- macro-levels. The technology-skill links should especially be important in today’s globalized world. This paper develops large-scale global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model by incorporating re...

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...

We explore how and by how much assumptions about elasticities of substitution affect estimates of the cost of GHG emissions reduction policies in computable general equilibrium (CGE) models using G-Cubed, an intertemporal CGE model, to carry out a sensitivity and factor decomposition analysis. The results suggest that the average abatement cost rises non-linearly as elasticities are reduced. Su...

Abstract Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models have been widely employed in economic, social, and environmental impact assessments for low-carbon policies. As net-zero transition has become a global trend, it is crucial to conduct systematic review of how CGE serve This examined 1002 studies published between 2001 2021, revealing the application policy analysis by researchers 51 countries...

Growing water scarcity is one of the central challenges for sustainability in China, given its burgeoning industry and huge population, especially in the arid and semi-arid inland river basin where precipitation is very limited. Industrial transformation is an important engine of economic growth, which is required to be implemented by governments at all levels in China. Economic models have gen...

This paper presents the overall and distributional welfare effects of alternative multi-regional emissions trading coalitions relative to unilateral action. It focusses on meeting Paris Agreement pledges more reduction targets consistent with 2 ∘ C 1.5 temperature pathways in 2030. The results from seven computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are compared. Across all models, gains highest ...
