We develop a Financial Computable General Equilibrium Model (FCGE) model that can analyse the economic impacts of the infrastructure investment projects and their financing options on growth and distribution in Indonesia economy. It is possible to estimate growth and distributional effects of...

Transport sector has a long tradition of using the principles of practical cost benefit analysis (CBA) in project appraisal that analyses the primary impacts of transport investments. The standard transport project assessment is necessary but not sufficient for the estimation of the wider...

Åland Islands, a small Finnish island region with its own governmental powers, is rapidly aging together with its neighboring regions in mainland Finland and Sweden. The demographic momentum affects its labor market in various ways. Aging will keep exits from labor market high in the near...

This paper reports the application of our new spatial computable general equilibrium (SCGE) model for analyzing the wider effects of strategic transport and land use development options. We examine the insights afforded by a SCGE model relative to those provided by existing land use and...

This paper analyses the economic impact of the foreseeable withdrawal of a large amount of the European Structural funds in the Andalusian economy, for the 2014-2020 Community Support Framework. We develop a Dynamic General Equilibrium Model that will assess, under different simulation...

State tax revenues from casinos as a share of total state gaming revenues generally correlate well with the year of legalization. Theoretically speaking, heavy tax rates should dampen growth of the casino revenues in states that adopt them. Indeed, states with lower tax rates tend to have larger...

We analyze existing definitions of carbon leakage and propose a new rigorous one. This is then tested using computable general equilibrium analysis for unilateral carbon dioxide abatement programs in the European Union in 2020, adopted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate...

Spatial Computable General Equilibrium (SCGE) models are convenient methods of the analysis of the change of inter-regional economic interaction or regional benefit by policy shocks. Recent SCGE models have two main streams in terms of the assumption of market structure; perfect competition...

To explain economic impacts of flood damage due to climate change over time in Japan, this study develops a dynamic spatial computable general equilibrium model, and measures flood damage costs through some numerical experiments. It is inferred that the frequency and the intensity of flood are...

This study develops a policy model under the hierarchical administration system of the regional economy in Japan. In case of Japan, a hierarchy of national, prefectural, and municipal (city) administration exists, and a different regional policy in these each hierarchies can be set up....
