Si bien el Protocolo de Kyoto proporcionó un marco para reducir las emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero de las naciones industrializadas, las actuales negociaciones sobre cambio climático anticipan futuros compromisos de los principales emisores de carbono entre los países en desarrollo. Se utiliza aquí una versión actualizada del modelo de eq...

While the Kyoto Protocol provided a framework for reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of industrialized nations, current climate change negotiations envisage future commitments for major CO2 emitters among developing countries. This document uses an updated version of the GTAP-E general equilibrium model to analyse the economic implications of re...

En este informe se presenta un análisis exhaustivo de los efectos del cambio climático en el Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia y se analizan los impactos anuales desde 2000 hasta 2100 en los sectores donde se esperan repercusiones significativas.

En los últimos años se ha visto el desarrollo de una gran cantidad de estudios sobre los efectos del cambio climático en diversos sectores y países. Sin embargo, en general estos estudios son parciales y no llegan a incluir los impactos indirectos y dinámicos que surgirán a causa de los efectos sectoriales más obvios y directos. El propósito del pr...

Five economies of Central America —Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and Nicaragua— are negotiating an Association Agreement with the European Union (EU). This process is an important part of their trade policy and implies significant changes in the relationship between both regions, not only in trade-related issues and in investment and...

This book contains a selection of studies discussed at the first and second Regional Meetings on Computable General Equilibrium, which were held, respectively, in Santiago, Chile on 13 and 14 April 2007 with the collaboration of the Centre for International Prospective Studies and Information (CEPII), and San Jose, Costa Rica, from 24 to 25 Novembe...

This paper undertakes a quantitative analysis of the socioeconomic and environmental impacts of different trade agreements for Chile. A dynamic general equilibrium model is used to compare the consequences of unilateral liberalization and trade agreements with the European Union (EU) and the United States (USA). The results show that economic gains...

Chile has committed to meeting its Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the year 2015. Over the last two decades, the country made great progress towards these goals, possibly more than any other country in Latin America.

Oil price increases and the restrictions to natural gas imports from Argentina generate multiple effects which ripple throughout the Chilean economy. The magnitude of the aggregate, sectoral and distributive impacts associated with these changes in the energy sector is debated. In this paper, using a static general equilibrium framework, we analyze...

The Computable General Equilibrium model, based on the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) model, is used to evaluate the impact of separate bilateral free trade agreements by Colombia, Ecuador and Peru with the United States of America (USA). As the Andean Trade Promotion and Drug Eradication Act (ATPDEA) is to expire shortly, a number of differe...

Con el modelo de Equilibrio General Computable basado en el modelo gtap se evalúan los impactos de sendos tratados de libre comercio bilaterales, en distinto estado de negociación, de Colombia, Ecuador y Perú con los Estados Unidos.

The analysis of the linkages between development policies and social and environmental variables is a neglected area within the development literature. This paper focuses on the key interrelations among the economic, social and environmental elements of the sustainable development triangle. A thorough review is undertaken of both social and environ...

Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models are a powerful economic tool for multidimensional/multi-sectoral analysis. They improve traditional input-output analysis generating quantities and prices endogenously and reflecting market incentives. They complement partial equilibrium analysis with a broader scope of analysis and the quantification of...

Successful economic growth in Chile based on open market and export strategy, is characterized by a high dependence on natural resources, and by polluting production and consumption patterns. There is an increasing concern about the need to make potentially significant trade-offs between economic growth and environmental improvements. Additionally,...

Los modelos de equilibrio general computable (EGC) son una poderosa herramienta para el análisis multidimensional/ multisectorial. Mejoran el análisis tradicional de insumo-producto, al generar cantidades y precios en forma endógena y reflejar incentivos de mercado. Complementan el análisis de equilibrio parcial con un ámbito más amplio para el est...

Successful economic growth followed by Chile, based on open market and export strategy, is characterised by a high dependence on natural resources, and by polluting production and consumption patterns. There is an increasing concern about the need to make potentially significant trade-offs between economic growth and environmental improvements. Add...

A comprehensive review of the links between sustainable development and long term growth.

This paper examines the impacts of external price shocks in the Malaysian economy. There are three simulations are carried out with different degrees of external shocks using Malaysian Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) and Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) analysis. The model results indicate that the import price shocks, better known as external p...

Abstract

El escenario de alzas en el precio del petróleo y de sus derivados genera diversos efectos que se transmiten a toda la economía chilena. Lo anterior junto con la restricción a la importación de gas natural desde Argentina plantea interrogantes sobre la magnitud de los efectos agregados, sectoriales y distributivos de estos cambios energéticos. Este...
