Agbahey, Johanes; Siddig, Khalid Hassan Ali; Grethe, Harald - 2020
Results of general equilibrium models are sensitive to model parameterization and specification. The role of macroeconomic closures and the effect of trade elasticities are documented in the literature, but there is no systematic analysis of the implications of different labor supply...
