This work highlights key features of the 2005 Social Accounting Matrice for D.R.Congo (2005 DRC-SAM). Two main sources of information have been exploited for its compilation: the Input and Output Table (IOT), and the Integrated Economic Accounts (IEA) both from the 2005 National Accounts. The...

This work presents features of the Congolese economy through the Social Accounting Matrix of the year 2005 (MCS-RDC2005). It gives an idea on the structure of production and the international trade as well as on its international specializations. This study is suitable to all work of modelling...

This work examines implications of joining the SADC Free Trade Agreement on the D.R.Congo economy, within computable general equilibrium framework. This objective passes by the analysis of the Congolese economy features through the 2005 social accounting matrix, empiric support of our model, on...

This paper is based on the work of Aghion and Howitt. We have integrated some elements including the tax on the dirty production, varieties production function and the isoelastic utility function. Furthermore, we analyze how the growth theory integrates the environmental dimension. We find that,...

This work examines the possible impact of slower economic growth in major trading partners on the Congolese economy during the period 2013-2020. It also offers an alternative way to finance the economy. A dynamic and micro simulated computable general equilibrium model applied to the case of the...

This work involves the construction of the 2013 Social Accounting Matrix for the D.R.Congo (MCS-CD2013). Three main sources of data were used namely Tables of Resources and Employment (TRE), the table of Integrated Economic Accounts (TCEI) for 2013, and data from the 1-2-3 survey on employment,...

Different methods have been used in the literature to mesure and analyze price markup cyclical behavior. We use a medium-scale DSGE Model with positive trend in ation, in which aggregate fluctuations are driven by neutral technology, marginal efficiency of investment (MEI) and monetary policy...

This paper analyses the implications of monetary policy changes on the welfare in the U.S economy over the pre-1984 and post-1984 periods. We use a New-Keynesian model with trend inflation based on Ascari, Phaneuf and Sims (2015). First, our results show that the welfare costs respond...

This work examines the impact of social investments and poverty in the D.R.Congo. The general equilibrium approach was used. To this end, a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model was built and calibrated based on the 2013 Social Accounting Matrix. Three scenarios were considered...

This paper evaluates the contribution of agricultural growth to poverty reduction in the D.R.Congo over the projection period 2013 - 2020. It raises questions over the investment options to sustain such growth effort. We use a recursive dynamic computable general equilibrium model combine with...
