Solutions
Fields of policy simulation
Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are used to assess policy shocks in trade, energy and the environment, resources, agriculture, public finance, poverty, labor, disasters, and investment.
01
International trade
We study the socio-economic effects of trade policy—especially the conclusion of trade agreements—on GDP, employment, trade, consumption, investment, and saving.
02
Energy and environment
Environmental CGE models are used to simulate the economic and environmental effects of macro policy. Core energy sectors include coal, oil, gas, and electricity.
03
Natural resources
Work concentrates on water and land, and on how macro and resource policies affect allocation and efficiency.
04
Agriculture
Agricultural applications refine production activities to study food prices and security, rural labor movement, and agricultural trade. Partial-equilibrium models are also used where finer sectoral detail is required.
05
Public finance and financial CGE
Financial CGE models add financial variables and institutions to a conventional real CGE, for monetary policy, exchange-rate analysis, and forecasting.
06
Poverty
We study how trade, environmental, macroeconomic, and climate policies affect poverty in the countries of interest.
07
Labor and employment
Labor applications include minimum wages, migration, employment, and wages.
08
Disaster assessment
CGE models are used to assess the economic effects of floods, droughts, water pollution and ecology, landslides, debris flows, and earthquakes.
09
Investment strategy
Simulation results are translated into scenario-based investment implications for thematic allocation and risk discussion—not as security recommendations.
