简介

<p>Summary :</p> <p>Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model has become the most important tool in fields of energy, environment and economy to assess policy impact.</p> <p>It is well known that the performance of the model heavily depends on the choice of parameter values, particularly elasticities.&nbsp;Because the number of the parameters are too large to be estimable even in models of middle size, however, most literatures have not estimated many&nbsp;of parameters but either just assumed or cited the values from the existing literatures even for other countries and other industries.</p> <p>Recognizing these problems, the Ministry of Environment of Korea recently ordered a 7 year long research project to construct Korean CGE models&nbsp;in which data set will be collected and parameters will be estimated using the data set. This talk is about an result of initial research work to identify and&nbsp;ordain order of key parameters in a Korean CGE model. In the work, (i) a Monte Carlo simulation randomly draws exogenous parameters (X), (ii) the CGE model&nbsp;calculates corresponding endogenous outcomes (Y), (iii) repeat the procedure of (i) and (ii) n times to yield sample data of X and Y of size n, and (iv) finally&nbsp;a standard regression analysis estimates the relationship of X and Y. This approach identifies and ordains order of key parameters of the Korean CGE model.</p>
