Economy-wide benefits from establishing water user-right markets in a spatially heterogeneous agricultural economy
This paper analyzes the economy-wide gains obtainable from the allocation of surface irrigation water to its most productive use, and evaluates a decentralized mechanism for achieving this result in a spatially heterogeneous environment.
Addressing longer-term issues of economic development in Egypt, the paper employs a dynamically recursive computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to assess the outcomes associated with two types of development approaches over the period 1998-20
Less poverty in Egypt?
In this paper, the impact of alternative development strategies on growth and poverty is assessed in an economywide framework, using Egypt as a case study.
A general equilibrium analysis of alternative scenarios for food subsidy reform in Egypt
This paper uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to simulate the short-run effects of alternative food- subsidy scenarios. Savings from reduced subsidy spending are used to reduce direct taxes uniformly for all household types.
The mixed-complementary approach to specifying agricultural supply in computable general equilibrium models
In Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, it is typically assumed that agricultural resources are smoothly substitutable in neoclassical functions, with flexible prices generating market equilibrium in a setting with full resource employment
Tiger or turtle?
A dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to explore alternative scenarios for 1990-2020 in areas critical for Egypt's economy -- productivity growth, investment, foreign trade, and water.
Cost of managing with less
Using a mathematical-programming agricultural-sector model of Egypt, this paper analyzes mechanisms for allocating scarce water and for charging the farmers the Operation and Management (O&M) costs of irrigation and drainage, currently covered
Land, water, and agriculture in Egypt
Macro and micro effects of subsidy cuts
Using a Computable General Equilibrium model for Egypt based on data for 1991/92, this paper analyzes the short-run impact of removing price-distorting subsidies for oil products sold domestically and for commodities covered by the consumer subsid
Price competitiveness and variability in Egyptian cotton
This paper examines the role of price incentives in the observed decline in cotton production during the 1980s and in the apparent improvement in recent years.
