CGE models and development policy analysis: problems, pitfalls, and challenges
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to specify charac-teristics of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models that are most likely to be useful for policy analysis in developing countries. In the first part of the paper, alternative criteria for distinguishing CGE models are assessed. We suggest that CGE models with clear mi-croeconomic structure contribute the most to sound policy formulation by helping analysts to understand essential relationships relevant to particular policy configurations. The sec-ond part of the paper describes how a neoclas-sical economic model can be extended to ad-dress a variety of policy issues in developing countries. Choosing a CGE Model Economic modelers apparently do not agree regarding what elements of general equilib-rium models are essential (Shoven and Whal-ley). This is evident in the variety of CGE models that are currently used for policy anal-ysis, particularly in developing countries. For our purposes, we define a CGE model to be a multisectoral supply and demand model with prices being computed endogenously to clear markets. Several criteria may be proposed to distin-guish between types of CGE models. One common criterion is the solution algorithm. An earlier approach, pioneered by Johansen, involves restricting the model so that it is linear in its derivatives and solving for pertur-bations of endogenous variables due to exoge-nous changes using matrix inversion.

Raonament intel·lectual i materialitat del text: el cas de l'Ars inventiva veritatis de Ramon Llull
Full text linkRamon Llull's Ars inventiva veritatis (1290) is conserved in a manuscript closely connected with the author. The peculiar and complex disposition of the text of this codex permits us to study the careful organization of the work, revealing Llull's desire to guide the reader in certain specific directions. This makes evident, once again, the interrelation between the materiality and significance of the text
What Makes Help Helpful? Some Thoughts on Ethics of Solidarity Through George Orwell’s Writings
Full text linkOrganisations that offer personal services, whether this be
a law firm or a hospital, may be extremely good at offering technical
solutions to people, but when it comes to offering recognition, this is
much more of a challenge. These institutions often lack the ability to ‘be
respectful of each individual’.
Recognition is a central topic –often overseen– in the works of George
Orwell, the English journalist and writer who, after taking part in the
colonial system for five years, decided to ‘expiate his guilt’ by consecutively becoming homeless, taking part in agricultural labor, writing on the living conditions of the English working class and fighting as a militiaman in the Republican side during the Spanish Civil War. It was a process that spanned over several years, in which a well-educated, intellectually brilliant person, confronted and interacted with people of different countries and social backgrounds. The paper examines both failed and successful recognition experiences in Orwell’s life and work, hoping to draw some insights in how recognition works in practice.
The analysis reveals two dramatic points and leads to a pessimistic conclusion: the first point, already presented in the first part of the article, is that without recognition, no act of help will be really helpful. And secondly, real recognition only takes place between individuals. Which leads the author to conclude, confirming the initial suggestion of the paper, that full help cannot be given by any standardized procedure, and depends almost exclusively on the ability, commitment and willingness of individuals.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
