The Significance of CGE Modeling for Policy Modeling and Decision-Making
Impact Analysis
CGE modeling excels in impact analysis. Whether it's assessing the effects of a tax policy change, a trade agreement, or an environmental regulation, CGE models can estimate the repercussions throughout the entire economy.
Policy Design & Evaluation
Governments and businesses frequently turn to CGE modeling when designing and evaluating policies. By simulating the economic effects of different policy scenarios, policymakers and investors can identify the most effective and efficient strategies.
Environmental Policy
By modeling the costs and benefits of measures like carbon taxes, emissions reductions, and renewable energy incentives, CGE models contribute to the development of sustainable policies that balance economic growth and environmental protection.
Holistic Understanding of Economic Systems
CGE modeling excels in impact analysis, they are like a dynamic map of the entire economic landscape. They capture the direct and indirect impacts of changes on the whole economic system such as:
- Assessing the effects of a tax policy change or a new trade agreement.
- If a specific technology sector gets a boost from a policy change.
- Investing in a new sector or deploying a national project such as Neom City in Saudi Arabia or Turkey investments in the emerging sectors of AI and electro-car production.
- Adopting specific environmental regulations, or applying a new environmental policy.
- Simulate demand and supply changes in key economic sectors such as construction, technology, logistics, and tourism sectors.
