Building a baseline to better integrate air passenger and air freight transport into a global Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model Econ. Syst. Res. (IF 2.081) Pub Date : 2023-08-24 Ana Norman-López, Rafael Garaffa, Krzysztof Wojtowicz, Marie Tamba
ABSTRACT The Covid-19 pandemic has had opposite effects on demand for air passenger and air cargo transport and on the way these two sectors interact with other sectors of the economy. However, macroeconomic models generally represent aviation as a single sector, limiting the ability to assess those interactions. In this study, we split the air transport sector into two sectors (passenger and freight)

Effective demand, wages and prices, and the multiplier Econ. Syst. Res. (IF 2.081) Pub Date : 2023-05-22 Kurt Kratena
The calculation of multipliers is the core of impact analysis with input–output (IO) models. Given this focus of IO modeling on the multiplier, it is remarkable that IO analysis has not contributed to the recent macroeconomic debate on fiscal multiplier heterogeneity. This heterogeneity stems from differences in consumption reactions to income shocks and from downward wage rigidity. Both features are

Input-output price indexes: forgoing the Leontief and Ghosh models Econ. Syst. Res. (IF 2.081) Pub Date : 2023-02-19 Louis de Mesnard
ABSTRACT In input-output analysis, the Leontief and Ghosh models can be used to determine the price indexes of goods, which is convenient for analyzing inter-industry inflation. Their respective merits are debated, but both provide the same solution. We demonstrate that, contrary to common belief, it is superfluous to use the Leontief or Ghosh model to calculate price indexes: the price index vector

ABSTRACT Technology-rich integrated assessment models (IAMs) provide high resolution of the energy-related climate impacts, when exploring prospective climate change mitigation strategies. However, energy system models (ESMs), the core of integrated assessment models, usually ignore industrial linkages other than those related to energy. Furthermore, these models focus on climate change and neglect

Price re-interpretations of the basic IO quantity models result in the ultimate input-output equations Econ. Syst. Res. (IF 2.081) Pub Date : 2023-01-10 Jan Oosterhaven
This note shows that Leontief's well-known demand-driven input–output (IO) quantity model may also be interpreted as the almost unknown revenue-pull IO price model, but measured in value terms instead of in prices. It is also shown how these two demand-driven models may be combined into a single ultimate demand-driven IO equation. An analogous result holds for the supply-driven quantity model and the

A supply-driven model consuming simultaneously all primary inputs: unfolding analytical potential beyond the Ghosh model Econ. Syst. Res. (IF 2.081) Pub Date : 2022-10-27 Aleix Altimiras-Martin
The Ghosh model fails to endogenise the simultaneous consumption of primary inputs and, consequently, is unused. It is argued that this limitation stems from being specified mirroring the Leontief model. In particular, primary inputs are considered homogeneous and independent despite being heterogeneous and (intersectorally) dependent. A new supply-driven model endogenising the consumption of all primary

Eigenvalues of input-output matrices have significant implications for the structures of equilibrium prices and quantities. According to the Bródy Conjecture (BC), all subdominant eigenvalues of matrix would approach zero as matrix size approached infinity. Thus, any given initial quantity or price vector would converge to the corresponding equilibrium one in a single step. This paper adds significant

Disaggregating input–output tables by the multidimensional RAS method: a case study of the Czech Republic Econ. Syst. Res. (IF 2.081) Pub Date : 2022-07-27 Vladimír Holý, Karel Šafr
The RAS method is an iterative procedure that bi-proportionally scales an input–output table to be consistent with given row and column sums. It can be used to disaggregate an annual national table to more detailed tables, such as regional, quarterly, and domestic/imported tables. However, the regular two-dimensional RAS method does not ensure the consistency of the disaggregated tables with the original
