This paper evaluates the systemic impact of climate variations in a regional perspective using an interregional CGE model integrated with a physical model estimated for agriculture in order to catch the effects of climate change. The methodological approach adopted to conduct such analysis was...

In classical Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models all decisions are about continuous quantities, represented by non-negative real numbers. In a spatial framework it is however natural to allow for discrete choices, like choice location of residence and/or and location of work. Another...

We construct a two-country international trade model with national and multinational (multiplant) firms and we investigate the effect of economic integration on welfare both at the country and at the world level. Results crucially depend on the share of industrial profits owned by a country....
