“…This framework has been used in a wide variety of applications (e.g. Allan et al, 2014;Harrigan et al, 1991) and a variant is used by the Scottish Government for policy analysis. 14 The model allows for a degree of flexibility in the choice of model closures and parameters.…”

Scotland's AMOS model (Harrigan et al, 1991) is the best-known single-region model and has been used continuously for the past 2 decades. Lofgren and Robinson (2002) express concerns that subnational single-region models may generate misleading results since they do not allow for inter-regional and nation-region feedbacks.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate regional impact of macroeconomic and regional policy impulses, using our newly developed multi-regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for three, structurally distinctive Polish macro-regions.Design/methodology/approachIn this study, we build an interregional social accounting matrix for Poland and use it to develop a small scale, three-region CGE model, reflecting the size of regional economies and cross-regional differences in industrial structures, while also explicitly accounting for the dynamics of main economic relationships across regions, such as interregional flows in commodities, labor and capital. The model is subsequently use to simulate regional effects of various policy impulses.FindingsWe demonstrate important cross-regional differences in the transmission mechanism of macro-level policies, which either affect regional output and its individual components (as in the case of imposing shocks to VAT or PIT rates) or are limited to the components, while preserving a rather uniform impact on output (as in the case of imposing shocks to wages). Furthermore, we contribute to the regional policy equity-efficiency trade-off debate, by illustrating quantitatively how, due to structural differences, spatially targeted expenditure measures might promote either regional convergence or aggregate output growth at the country-level.Originality/valuePrior to our study, regional CGE models have not been used to simulate spatial distribution of aggregate shocks in Poland or in any other CEE country. Another originality of our study lies in comprehensive evaluation of various policy impulses, from the perspective of their impact on the respective region, spillovers to the other regions and its overall, country-level effect.

“…5 The regional dimension is reflected in: the importance of interregional trade flows (in the SAM and through the Armington interlinks in the model) in goods markets; labour market linkages through migration (and, in general, wage bargaining); the assumed perfect mobility of financial capital, with interest rates set exogenously by the Bank of England's Monetary Policy Committee, and the permanently fixed nominal exchange rate that Scotland shares with the rest of the UK. A very brief description is presented in this section: more detail is available in Appendix 1 and a full listing of the basic version of the AMOS model is provided in Harrigan et al (1991). AMOSENVI has 3 transactor groups, namely households, corporations, and government 6 ; 25 commodities and activities (see Appendix 2 for details); and two exogenous external transactors (RUK and ROW).…”

In recent years, the notion of sustainable development has begun to figure prominently in the regional, as well as the national, policy concerns of many industrialized countries. Indicators have typically been used to monitor changes in economic, environmental and social variables to show whether economic development is on a sustainable path. In this paper we endogenize individual and composite environmental indicators within an appropriately specified computable general equilibrium modelling framework for Scotland. In principle, at least, this represents a very powerful modelling tool that can inform the policy making process by identifying the impact of any exogenous policy change on the key endogenous environmental and economic indicators. It can also identify the effects of any binding environmental targets on economic activity.Computable general equilibrium modelling, environmental indicators, sustainability policy,
