Year 2004 emissions were estimated by applying annual growth rates to the detailed year 2001 emissions data (Rose et al., 2007) that was the input dataset for the GTAP version 6 non-CO2 emissions (Rose and Lee, 2009). Two methodologies were applied: one for methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O),...

Contrary to the opinions expressed by many commentators, the recent price spike in agricultural commodities is a transitory phenomenon. Using projections from SIMPLE – a global model of the farm and food system – we argue that, in the long run, food prices will most likely resume their...

The purpose of this note is to provide an exhaustive reference for those interested in learning more about the Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function and its use in the representation of producer behavior in the GTAP Model. Particular attention is paid to the role of technical change...

Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models have been widely used for quantitative analysis of global economic issues. However, CGE models are frequently criticized for resting on weak empirical foundations. This paper builds on recent work in macro-econometric estimation, developing an approach...
