In the transport planning process, decision makers require reliable and informative
appraisals to facilitate comparisons and determine if a proposal is worthwhile to society. The …

This chapter reviews options of labor market modeling in a computable general equilibrium
framework. On the labor supply side, two principal modeling options are distinguished and …

Two difficulties arise in the estimation of AB models:(i) the criterion function has no simple
analytical expression,(ii) the aggregate properties of the model cannot be analytically …

Applied–or computable–general equilibrium models (AGE or CGE) build on rigorous
modelling of microeconomic agents' behaviours (households, firms and so forth). These …

We present a general-equilibrium behavioural microsimulation model designed to assess
long-run macroeconomic, fiscal and distributional consequences of tax and benefit reforms …

In this paper, we present the first dynamic scoring exercise linking a microsimulation and a
dynamic general equilibrium model for Europe. We illustrate our novel methodology …

This chapter reviews options of labor market modelling in a CGE framework. On the labor
supply side, two principal modelling options are distinguished and discussed: aggregated …

Implementing a value added tax (VAT) system to simultaneously increase public revenues,
increase economic efficiency and reduce inequalities is a significant challenge for …

In this paper we examine the effects of trade liberalisation on inequality in the small
developing country of Nepal. We use a Computable General Equilibrium approach applied …

Using a micro–macro simulation approach, we evaluate the effects of different tax policies in
South Africa. The country is characterised by a high unemployment rate, while the informal …
