We develop a unified framework with schools and residential choices and study the welfare and distributional consequences of switching from the traditional neighborhood assignment to the celebrated Deferred Acceptance mechanism. We show that when families receive higher priorities at...

Este artículo examina los principales proyectos de los Planes Hidrológicos de 2001 y de 2005, el trasvase del Ebro y el programa A.G.U.A., diseñados para resolver los problemas de escasez y degradación de los recursos hídricos en el sureste peninsular. El intenso debate sobre ambos...

This paper quantitatively assesses the economic implications of crediting carbon abatement from reduced deforestation for the emissions market in 2020 by linking a numerical equilibrium model of the global carbon market with a dynamic partial equilibrium model of the forestry sector. We find...

Reducing emissions from deforestation and degradation (REDD) has been proposed as a potentially inexpensive and plentiful source of emission abatement to supplement other longterm climate policies. However, critics doubt that REDD credits are environmentally equivalent to domestic emission...

In this paper, we introduce cost benefit rules for projects embedded in a stochastic optimal growth framework. We model uncertainty in terms of Brownian motion and Ito integrals. Taking the mathematical expectation of the project means that the Ito integrals vanish, and we end up with a cost...

The aim of this paper seeks to introduce the basis of the energy economics models defined as a market equilibrium problems-mixed complementarily problem (MCP). This technique allows the integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general computable equilibrium...

We motivate the formulation of market equilibria as a mixed complementarity problem (MCP) in order to bridge the gap between bottom-up energy system models and top-down general equilibrium models for energy policy analysis. Our objective is primarily pedagogic. We first lay out that the MCP...

The formulation of market equilibrium problems as mixed complementarity problems (MCP) permits integration of bottom-up programming models of the energy system into top-down general equilibrium models of the overall economy. Despite the coherence and logical appeal of the integrated MCP...

This contribution describes the linkage of microsimulation models and computable general equilibrium (CGE) models using two already established models called "STSM" and "PACE-L" used by the Centre for European Economic Research. This state of the art research method for applied policy analysis...

This chapter reviews options of labour market modelling in a CGE framework. On the labour supply side, two principal modelling options are distinguished and discussed: aggregated, representative households and microsimulation based on individual household data. On the labour demand side, we...
