This article looks back at 25 years of achievements of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) from different angles. It covers the design features of the project and the collaboration in a global research network, the contributions GTAP has made to better informed trade policy making, its contributions in the area of environment and climate change and its capacity to absorb theoretical developments in applied modeling. The paper also makes some suggestions about future directions.JEL codes: C68, D58, E17, F13, F15

All views expressed are strictly personal and should not be attributed to the World Bank. This is a "working draft" version of a handbook chapter. AbstractThis paper examines how the applied multi-sector computable general equilibrium (CGE) literature has moved into quantification of the impacts of greater market access for services. This includes discussion of multisector linkages to the service sector, as well both measuring barriers to trade and investment (generally with a mix of firm surveys, price comparisons, and econometrics), and how changes in these barriers, however measured, have been implemented in the CGE literature. Three challenges are highlighted. The first is identification of how trade in services takes place and how market access is therefore affected by policy. The second is to find data sufficiently robust for modeling purposes. The third, linked to the data problem, is to quantify the barriers to be examined. Significant progress has been made in modeling foreign direct investment and linking this to productivity, which turns out to be important. The paper also provides an example of modeling productivity linkages to openness and domestic regulation, with an applied CGE model of Italy. This illustrates cross-sector linkages and the integration of economic data and policy measures to define service sector experiments. Priorities for future research include better modeling of market structure, the linkages between sectors and the complementarities between different modes of supplying services.

“…O modelo por eles especificado naépoca era muito agregado, constando de dois agentes e dois setores. Walley (1982), Whalley (1985) desenvolveu modelos aplicados de equilíbrio geral para analisar os ganhos de bem-estar resultantes da redução e/ou abolição de tarifas e impostos sobre os fluxos de mercadorias entre países. No primeiro estudo, procura determinar os ganhos de bem-estar mundial advindos da redução de tarifas na então Comunidade Econômica Européia -CEE, EUA e Japão.…”

“…Essas diferenças têm suas origens nas motivações que levaramàs definições do ob-jeto de estudo. Enquanto Walley (1982), Whalley (1985) estava preocupado com os resultados da Rodada Tóquio de Negociações Multilaterais, o presente estudo preocupa-se em determinar os impactos similares aos da Lei Kandir 1 . Para a realidade brasileira, os desempenhos econômicos dos setores primários e agroindustriais são ainda cruciais para o desenvolvimento da economia.…”

Este artigo avalia os impactos da eliminação de impostos sobre as exportações brasileiras. Utiliza-se um modelo computável de equilíbrio geral para simular a reação dos agentes econômicos a essas mudanças. A eliminação dos impostos sobre as exportações promove aumento no nível de exportações primárias e maior competição com atividades destinadasà agroindústria e ao consumo doméstico. Conseqüentemente, ocorre queda na renda das famílias, que, por sua vez, diminuem os gastos com o consumo de alimentos. Houve queda generalizada nos níveis de bem-estar dos consumidores, embora tenha havido elevações no nível de emprego rural e na renda obtida do exterior.This study evaluates the impacts of the elimination of taxes on Brazilian agricultural exports. A computable general equilibrium model is used to simulate the reaction of the economic agents to those changes. The elimination of the taxes on exports promotes an increase in the level of exports and more competition with agro-industrial activities and domestic consumption. Consequently, there is a fall on the level of family income and, as a result, decreases in the family consumption expenses. There was a generalized fall in the levels of consumers' welfare, even though with gains in the level of rural employment and in the foreign exchange earnings.* Artigo recebido em fev. 2002 e aprovado em jul. 2002.
