Partial and general equilibriums (1)
Price
Equilibrium
QD = Q s
Partial equilibrium: demand
equals supply in one or more
(but not all) markets.
S
General equilibrium: demand
equals supply in all markets

D
Q*
Can we achieve general
equilibrium by equilibrating
market one by one?

Partial and general equilibriums (2)
Links between markets
1.Input-output linkage
2.Labour capital linkage
3.Substitutes (e.g. Rice and Wheat) and
complements (e.g. Peanut butter and Bread)
So we need to think about the equilibriums of
all markets simultaneously.

GTAP model
 113 global regions (countries) and 57 sectors
and commodities, 1 global bank, 1
international transportation service, and a
representative household and government
for each region,
 For the purpose of this study they are
aggregated into 36 global regions and 28
sectors and commodities.

Scenario 2: Scenario 1 plus 40% decrease in
household consumption.
Scenario 3: Scenario 2 plus 20% increase in
government spending.
Scenario 4: Scenario 2 plus 20% decrease in
production tax rates.
Scenario 5: Scenario 3 plus a 20% increase in the
import tariff rate.

Conclusions

An event like GFC has a devastating effect on regions worldwide.
It hits harder on the countries with high-exposure through trade,
investment or financial mechanism.
The rate of return on capital will decrease significantly during an
event like the GFC, but international trade will increase when
countries try to reduce the cost in order to survive the GFC.
The sectoral effects show that most industries will experience
contraction, especially for dwelling, recreation, trade, and textile.
But industries like public services and construction will expand
during the GFC due to the government expansionary fiscal policy.
Although both increases in government spending and decreases in
production tax rates can mitigate the negative effects of the GFC,
production tax cuts appear much more effective. A protectionism
policy would aggravate the effect of the GFC.
