TERM (The Enormous Regional Model) provides a strategy for creating a "bottom-up" multi-regional CGE model which treats each region of a single country as a separate economy. This makes it a useful tool for examining the regional impacts of shocks that may be region-specific. TERM is designed to...

MMRF is a dynamic CGE model of Australia's six State and two Territory economies. MMRF is used extensively in contract research. Several features of MMRF make it an ideal tool for policy analysis, including: dynamics, a highly disaggregated regional and sectoral database, a national labour...

Agriculture area and production has expanded greatly in Brazil during the last 40 years. The area of annual crops almost doubled, while the area planted for pastures and forestry tripled. However, the rate of deforestation has considerably reduced since 2004. In this paper we analyze the effect...

In this paper we desribe a general equilibrium model of the world economy, designed to simulate the effect of a liberalization of world food trade. Our model owes much to Tyers (1985) partial equilibrium model which covered trade between 30 countries in 7 agricultural commodities. It also...

The paper outlines the theory and database preparation of SinoTERM, a "bottom-up" computable general equilibrium model of the Chinese economy. The methodology by which we construct the multi-regional model allows us to present the economy of China in an unprecedented amount of detail. SinoTERM...

This paper presents the theoretical specification of the MONASH-MRF model. MONASH-MRF is a multiregional multisectoral model of the Australian economy. Included is a complete documentation of the model's equations, variables and coefficients. The documentation is designed to allow the reader to...

This is a guide to the variable dimension version of MMRF-GREEN, a dynamic multi-regional, fiscal model of the economy of Australia. We first detail the multi-regional core of the model. Then we introduce dynamics to the model. A section on the fiscal extension of the model follows. A subsequent...

This document compares several methods of computing price and quantity indices, with special reference to the small-change computations used by GEMPACK. Accompanying worked examples, using Excel and GEMPACK, can be downloaded from the <a href= "../archivep.htm">CoPS archive</a>.

Recently some researchers have suggested that economies of scale and imperfect competition play a major role in determining the effects of exogenous policy shocks. Thus they have emphasised the need to incorporate industrial organisation features into computable general equilibrium (CGE) models....
