A general equilibrium evaluation of aggregate welfare effects from improved sectoral efficiency . Empirical evidence for Norway
(Discussion Papers;No. 224, Working paper, 1998)This paper discusses and shows how a CGE model can be used to assess welfare effects of structural policy reforms targeting inefficiency problems at micro levels that normally are not captured in operational CGE-models. ... -
Environmental tax reform and producer foresight : an intertemporal computable general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 185, Working paper, 1996)This paper analyses the non-environmental welfare costs of an environmental tax reform using a numerical intertemporal general equilibrium model for the Norwegian economy. The tax reform is revenue neutral such that an ... -
Growth policy in a small, open economy : domestic innovation and learning from abroad
(Discussion Papers;572, Working paper, 2008)Research and development (R&D) play a pivotal role for innovation and productivity growth, and knowledge spillovers can make the case for public support to private R&D. In small and open economies, absorption of foreign ... -
Labour market rigidities and environmental tax reforms : welfare effects of different regimes
(Discussion Papers;No. 242, Working paper, 1998)The working of the labour market is important for the total welfare effects of tax reforms. This paper analyses, by using a computable general equilibrium model for the Norwegian economy, how different assumptions about ... -
Maize trade liberalization vs. fertilizer subsidies in Tanzania : a CGE model analysis with endogenous soil fertility
(Discussion Papers;No. 249, Working paper, 1999)This paper presents an analysis on economy-environmental interlinkages for Tanzania by using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model based on a social accounting matrix. The purpose of the analysis is to include general ... -
On general versus emission saving R&D support
(Discussion Papers;584, Working paper, 2009)We analyse welfare effects of supporting general versus emission saving technological development when carbon emissions are regulated by a carbon tax. We use a computable general equilibrium model with induced technological ... -
Optimal CO2 abatement and technological change : should emission taxes start high in order to spur R&D?
(Discussion Papers;No. 548, Working paper, 2008)Abstract: Many European politicians argue that since technological development is needed to solve the climate problem, the EU should take the lead and set tougher emission targets than what is required by the Kyoto protocol. ... -
Structural adjustment and soil degration in Tanzania : A CGE-model approach with endogenous soil productivity
(Discussion Papers;No. 189, Working paper, 1997)In this paper, a model of the nitrogen cycle in the soil is incorporated in a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model of the Tanzanian economy, thus establishing a two way link between the environment and the economy. ... -
Structural adjustments and deforestation in Nicaragua
(Discussion Papers;No. 193, Working paper, 1997)This paper investigates the impact of structural adjustment policies on deforestation taking place when the agricultural frontier advances into forest reserves in Nicaragua. A computable general equilibrium model incorporating ... -
The welfare effects of carbon policies: grandfathered quotas versus differentiated taxes
(Discussion Papers;No. 261, Working paper, 1999)Recently, it has been demonstrated that pre-existing distortionary taxes can substantially increase the costs of market-based instruments which do not raise revenue, such as non-auctioned emissions quotas. Revenue-raising ... -
Welfare and growth impacts of innovation policies in a small, open economy. An applied general equilibrium analysis
(Discussion Papers;No. 510, Working paper, 2007)We explore how innovation incentives in a small, open economy should be designed in order to achieve the highest welfare and growth, by means of a computable general equilibrium model with R&D-driven endogenous technological ...
