<strong>The</strong> <strong>PROVIDE</strong> <strong>Project</strong> <strong>Standard</strong><br />
<strong>Computable</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Equilibrium</strong> Model 1<br />
Abstract<br />
<strong>The</strong> paper describes the <strong>Standard</strong> <strong>Computable</strong> <strong>General</strong> <strong>Equilibrium</strong> (CGE) model developed<br />
for the <strong>PROVIDE</strong> <strong>Project</strong>. <strong>The</strong> model allows for a generalised treatment of trade relationships<br />
by incorporating provisions for non-traded exports and imports, and competitive and noncompetitive<br />
imports, and allows the relaxation of the small country assumption for exported<br />
commodities. <strong>The</strong> model encompasses multiple product activities by differentiating between<br />
commodities by the activities that produce them, using a range of production technologies that<br />
can be selected by the user. <strong>The</strong> model is designed for calibration using data compiled as a<br />
Social Accounting Matrix (SAM).<br />
<strong>The</strong> model is designed so that it can be readily adapted by the user to incorporate different<br />
and/or additional behavioural assumptions.<br />
If you use this model please acknowledge the source.<br />
