This study aims to assess the economic costs of COVID-19 and state emergency implemented by Government Mozambique, relying on a social accounting matrix. It produces numerical results that represent direct effect (or ‘shocks’ to) economy associated with pandemic. We distinguish four channels—supply, demand, investment, export—by which other efforts influence activity. Our simulation suggests Mo...

In some ways, sustainable engineering may be thought of as the operational arm of industrial ecology: first use the methodologies of industrial ecology, such as life-cycle assessment, materials flow accounting, or product and process matrix analysis, to determine relevant social and environmental considerations; then use sustainable engineering methods to integrate that knowledge into process, ...

i n the past decades, the effect of different tax amendments on various economic issues has been studied. the majority of these studies have avoided considering shadow economy as part of the calculation and analysis, and an issue, which has received little attention, is the relationship between green tax reforms and shadow economy, as for informal labor, which is well-connected to unemployment ...

The direct association between air pollution and morbidity and mortality rates has been proved. This major environmental risk factor has been mainly due to extensive use of fossil fuels. Increasing pollution caused by fossil fuels can threaten human health. This study simulated the effect of green taxes on Iran’s health indicators, i.e., mortality and morbidity. We used a Computable General Equ...

This paper estimates the effects of increase in Iran’s non-oil exports on its economic growth as well as sectoral outputs, using a single country, comparative static, exogenous policy Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. The paper also investigates the share of tradable sectors in reaching to the targeted growth rate (8%) in 5th socio-economic development plan. For this purpose, the para...
