Agglomeration, urban growth and infrastructure in global climate policy : a dynamic CGE approach

Grazi, Fabio; Waisman, Henri - 2015

This paper presents an integrated model of urban agglomeration economies within a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of global economic activity, energy use and carbon emissions to explore the theoretical and empirical nature of the interdependence of cities and the world economy in a...

On Sunk Costs and Trade Liberalization in Applied General Equilibrium

Mercenier, Jean; Schmitt, Nicolas - 2008

We argue that the rationalization gains often predicted by static applied general equilibrium models with imperfect competition and scale economies are artificially boosted by an unrealistic treatment of fixed costs. We introduce sunk costs into one such model calibrated with real-world data. We...

Modelling migration and regional labour markets : an application of the new economic geography model RHOMOLOI

Brandsma, Andries; Kancs, D'Artis; Persyn, Damiaan - 2013

The present paper describes the modelling of regional labour markets in the newly developed dynamic spatial general equilibrium model RHOMOLO, where the labour market equilibrium is determined by firms' labour demand, a wage-curve determining unemployment, and interregional labour migration. The...

Modelling inter-regional trade flows : data and methodological issues in Rhomolo

Ivanova, Olga; Kancs, D'Artis; Stelder, Dirk - 2009

The present paper studies the modelling of inter-regional trade flows in the newly developed general equilibrium model of European Commission, Rhomolo. In contrast to international trade, usually, trade of goods and services between regions is not recorded statistically. As a result, no...

The TIGER model : application of detailed passenger and freight transport in a regional CGE setting

Heyndrickx, Christophe; Koops, Olaf; Ivanova, Olga - 2011

The present paper describes the construction and first empirical application of the TIGER model (TIGER is an abbreviation of "Transport and Infrastructure General Equilibrium model for Regions"). The TIGER model belongs to the group of regional CGE models, applying a mix of conventional...

Multilevel Assessment of Public Transportation Infrastructure : A Spatial Econometric Computable General Equilibrium Approach

Chen, Zhenhua - 2014

Impact assessment of transportation investment policy is a challenging task as assessment outcome is sensitive to various attributes such as methodology, time period, scale and location of analysis. This study is conducted to evaluate regional impact of public transportation infrastructure in...

Heterogeneous skills and homogeneous land : segmentation and agglomeration

Wrede, Matthias - 2012 - This version: July 2012

This paper analyzes the effect of skill heterogeneity on regional patterns of production and housing in the presence of pecuniary externalities within a general-equilibrium framework, assuming monopolistic competition in intermediate goods markets. It shows that the interplay of heterogeneous...
