DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book was initiated while the three major authors were at the Development Centre of Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in Paris, working on its program on economic growth, trade, and sustainability. We wish to thank the OECD Development Centre for its support. The book was completed during summer 2001 at the Center for Agricultural and Rural Development (CARD) at Iowa State University. We appreciate the resources and financial support CARD provided for publication of this work. Sandra Clarke provided technical editing of the manuscripts and oversaw the indexing of the book; Becky Olson prepared the camera-ready copy of the final manuscript. We thank them for their instrumental help in these last steps. Part of the work presented in this volume previously appeared in some form in journals. The analysis of Chile presented in Chapter 6 appeared as “Growth, Trade, Pollution and Natural-Resource Use in Chile. Evidence from an Economywide Model,” Agricultural Economics 19(1998): 87-97; and as “Trade Integration, Environmental Degradation, and Public Health in Chile: Assessing the Linkages,” Environment and Development Economics, in press. The work on Costa Rica and Indonesia summarised in Chapter 10 appeared as “Is There a Trade-off Between Trade Liberalisation and Pollution Abatement in Costa Rica? A Computable General Equilibrium Assessment,” Journal of Policy Modeling 20(1): 11-31; and as “The Environment and Welfare Implications of Trade and Tax Policy,” Journal of Development Economics 52(1997): 65-82.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis hard-hitting research report presents a rigorous critique of the most widely used trade models based on computable general equilibrium (or CGE) models. The report appeals for honest simulation strategies showing a variety of possible outcomes, which would enable policy-makers to assess the different scenarios for themselves.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis dissertation contains three chapters, each using computable general equilibrium and applied welfare analysis to examine environmental policies. Chapters 1 and 2 measure welfare effects of a zebra mussel invasion into the Columbia River Basin. Chapter 1 describes the basic structure of the general equilibrium model and presents welfare analysis for degrees of uncertainty in the severity of invasion across industrial sectors. In Chapter 2, we simplify the model and solve for an analytical expression for welfare changes. We find that taxes could exacerbate welfare losses when the vector of introduction is tied to exported services. In our Columbia River Basin example, the most likely method of introduction of zebra mussels is through nonresident recreational boating, and taxing this activity could lead to additional welfare losses. Changes in welfare are considered for a range of tax rates and elasticities. The model in Chapter 3 imposes a political constraint on a monocentric city model to specify where open space is likely to be located. Given a particular location in the city we solve for a minimum set of attributes the open space must have to receive popular support. We find significant welfare losses associated with allocating open space through public referendum. Parks that would lead to community-wide welfare improvements are always underprovided, public amenities from any open space provided exceed the social optimum, and open space throughout the city is inappropriately located.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKEnvironmental emission and consumption of energy resources now a day have received substantial attention so far as global sustainable development is concerned. In this regard, purpose of the present book is to investigate general equilibrium implications of international trade and globalization over environmental emission, pattern of energy consumption and social welfare for the Indian economy and recommend necessary policy actions. Computable General Equilibrium(CGE) modelling has been applied as the relevant methodology for the analysis, following Shoven and Whalley (J Econ Lit XXII:1007-1051, 1984). Constructing energy/environmental Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) for India, study examined the effects of liberalized trade over different macroeconomic aspects, energy consumption and green house gas emission through an environmental CGE model logically based on SAM.Attempts have been made to simulate various trade related policies like import liberalization, foreign capital inflow and use of energy saving technologies for examining the impact over macroeconomic variables and domestic physical environment under both perfect and monopolistic competition market structure.
