We develop a computable general equilibrium model of the Egyptian economy. The model is suitable for analyzing the impacts of reforms in the tax system, the trade-policy regime, or both taken together. A two-sector, general-equilibrium model is presented diagrammatically to illustrate the...

The paper provides a methodology for considering the carrying capacity and limits to growth of a labor-constrained mature tourism destination. A computable general equilibrium model is used to examine the impacts of visitor expenditure growth and labor migration on Hawai'i's economy. Impacts on...

China's rapid economic growth has generated a surge in energy demand that is reallocating global fuel balances. We employ a global energy computable general-equilibrium model to analyze alternative scenarios for economic growth, Chinese currency appreciation, and oil price shocks, with a special...

We analyze the impact of economic integration on the activities of multinational enterprises in a general equilibrium model with asymmetric countries. Foreign direct investment (FDI) inflows are likely only to the extent that multinationals have not already shifted production to the integrating...

The paper provides a methodology for considering the carrying capacity and limits to growth of a labor-constrained mature tourism destination. A computable general equilibrium model is used to examine the impacts of visitor expenditure growth and labor migration on Hawai‘i's economy. Impacts...

This paper models the Hawaii’s economy in a CGE framework in order to analyze the economic impacts of energy (electricity) efficiency. Looking at energy flows in Hawaii’s economy, this paper traces the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint of industry activities by linking a monetary computable...

Few previous studies consider the GHG implications of biofuels in electricity generation. Yet, the biofuels have become a key replacement for residual petroleum fuel and LNG in stationary power in Hawai‘i. This stems from isolated island grid and heavy dependence on imported oil,...
