In this study we evaluate the regional effects of ageing and balancing of fiscal deficits by using a dynamic, regional AGE model for Finnish Economy. It uses MONASH-type dynamics. To study the effects of ageing, we make use of econometric results and long term anticipation results conducted by...

Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models require external parameters for proper estimations and can be relatively sensitive to the elasticity estimates used in them. We estimate LES demand elasticities and Frisch parameters for all Finnish household income deciles. These estimates will be...

In this study we evaluate the regional effects of ageing and balancing of fiscal deficits by using a dynamic, regional AGE model for Finnish Economy. We use a MONASH-type dynamic model called VERM (dynamic TERM). To study the effects of ageing, we make use of econometric results and long term...
