Using a computable general equilibrium model, this paper aims at quantifying gross domestic product and labour impacts of an illustrative greenhouse gas emissions reduction policy. Labour markets are first assumed to be totally flexible, climate policies impact negatively GDP and show relatively...

This paper aims to reassess the impact of Vietnam's accession to the WTO using a quantitative computable genera equilibrium (CGE) approach. First, a recursive dynamic approach helps to better handle the effects of the commitments in the context of a rapid economic growth. Second, thanks to the...

Une evaluation avec un modele mondial d’equilibre general. Dans un monde d’efficacite paretienne (ou de premier rang), l’internalisation des externalites telles que la pollution peut etre realisee par des taxes ou par des marches de permis, aussi bien dans un pays qu’a l’echelle...

The effects of trade on women vary by socio-economic characteristics, sector and country. This paper assesses how well such effects can be captured by a gendered social accounting matrix (SAM) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. The model is applied comparatively to Bangladesh and...

This paper advocates computable general equilibrium (CGE) models as an analytical framework that is suitable for assessing the impacts of policy interference on the three dimensions of Sustainable Development, i.e. environmental quality, economic performance and equity. Methodological extensions...

Cet article etudie les enseignements des modeles d'equilibre general calculables quant a l'impact sur les salaires relatifs d'un choc de politique commerciale ou d'un choc exogene de commerce international. Les simulations presentees confirment que, en s'appuyant sur un cadre d'analyse...

Standard international trade models have consistently produced results that, compared ex post with real world data, show the right sign but much smaller magnitudes. Besides, for the case of developing countries, these same models predict that unskilled labour would gain from liberalization, and...

Les principes d’efficience ont inspire le protocole signe a Kyoto en decembre 1997 par les pays de l’annexe 1. Cependant, s’il entre un jour en vigueur, ce protocole n’aura qu’une action tres limitee sur la stabilisation de la concentration atmospherique des gaz a effet de serre...

Starting from our earlier multi-region trade model, we develop two new 24 sector small open economy (SOE) computable general equilibrium models (CGE) of Chile. One is comparative static and the other is dynamic. We evaluate the impact of Chile forming free trade agreements with either NAFTA or...

Depuis quinze ans, les echanges dans les secteurs du textile et de l'habillement ont montre une forte propension à se developper entre pays proches, ceci s'expliquant en partie par la multiplication des accords regionaux (Caribbean Bassin Initiative, ALENA, Accords d'association conclus par...
