Title: | The appropriateness of CGE modelling in analysing the problem of deforestation | Contributor(s): | Centeno Stenberg, Luz (author); Siriwardana, Mahinda (author) | Publication Date: | 2005 | DOI: | 10.1108/14777830510614303 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/2949 | Abstract: | Purpose – The paper reviews recent developments in utilising computable general equilibrium (CGE) models to analyse forestry policies. The paper highlights the application of CGE modelling to deforestation and forestry issues. Design/methodology/approach – The analysis is carried out by comparing different CGE models available in the literature, which have analysed the economic consequences of deforestation and changes in forestry policies. Findings – The use of CGE models in analysing forestry issues is still in its early stages. There is room for innovation and improvement in the various models used. Practical implications – The paper emphasises the relevance of general equilibrium analysis in the evaluation of both micro- and macro-economic policies on forestry. It encourages researchers to use general equilibrium analysis in their study of environmental problems. Originality/value – The paper highlights the contribution and possible benefits of utilising CGE models in analysing environmental problems such as deforestation, especially in the context of environment-economics trade-off. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Management of Environmental Quality: An International Journal, 16(5), p. 407-420 | Publisher: | Emerald Publishing Limited | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1477-7835 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140303 Economic Models and Forecasting | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 960799 Environmental Policy, Legislation and Standards not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal |
