What is a General Equilibrium Model?
•Economic behaviour described by mathematical equations
household spending decisions
world demand for NZ exports
choice of fuels and factor inputs by industry
•Wider ambit than traditional cost-benefit analysis
•Economy divided into numerous industries (53)
•Track flow-on effects from one industry to another; eg
energy prices -> industry costs -> competitiveness -> exports->
labour demand -> household spending -> other industries
•Designed for “what if”? scenarios, not forecasting
•Able to accommodate government policies
(tax, welfare, spending on infrastructure, user pays, subsidies)
...and external shocks (oil price rises, protectionism, some aspects of
global warming)
Modelling Procedure
• Prepare “Business as Usual” scenario – not a forecast.
• Compare alternative policies and shocks against the BAU.
• Model strength is allocative efficiency.
• Macroeconomic closure: in all scenarios the following are held
constant at BAU levels:
 Total employment, wage rates endogenous.
 After tax rates of return, capital stock endogenous.
 BoP, real exchange rate endogenous.
 Fiscal surplus, personal income tax rates endogenous.

Scenario 2a
•
In Scenario 2, the CO2 price is higher than in
Scenario 1 due to the lower prices on nonCO2 gases.
The contention that a lower weight on
methane emissions would lower the cost to
New Zealand of meeting any given
proportionate emissions obligation, is not
supported by these results – at least not for
2020 and under the assumption that the world
as a whole applies a price on agricultural
emissions.

but considerably higher than the
corresponding 2020 scenarios.
Thus the positive effect of the higher
commodity prices outweighs the
negative effect of the higher GHG
prices by even more in 2050 than in
2020.
• No benefit switching from GWP to
GTP, as carbon price is higher and the
121.1 (11.2%) increase in commodity prices is smaller
than under GWP.

• i.e. the negative impact on NZ if
the RoW chooses not to impose a
price on agricultural emissions,
but NZ does so, is much greater
in 2050 than in 2020.
• Main reason is the higher carbon
prices.

• Welfare gains (RGNDI)
40% and 30% higher
respectively – equal
contributions from the
new technology and the
lower carbon price.
• Somewhat smaller
under GTP v GWP.
• Ignoring new
abatement
technologies under
high carbon prices,
even if those
technologies are not
cost-free, could
significantly overstate
the welfare cost of
mitigating emissions.
Summary
• For most scenarios the
difference in horizon years
and carbon prices
completely dominates the
difference between GHG
exchange metrics.
• GTP metric generally mutes
the economic effect on NZ
in both directions
• Overall though, whether or
not other countries impose
an explicit price on
agricultural non-CO2
emissions has a bigger
effect on NZ’s economic
welfare than the choice of
GHG exchange metrics,
especially under higher
GHG prices.
• Only if agricultural non-CO2 emissions are totally excluded is the effect of GHG prices
comparable to the effect of the choice of GHG exchange metrics
- sort of trivial.
• However, the conversion factors do affect the global price on CO2.
ESSAM General Equilibrium Model (1)
Production Functions
• 2-level translog specification for factor demand:
[Eg: Ln(Y) = a0elt + a1Ln(X1) + a2Ln(X2)+a3Ln(X1)2 + a4Ln(X2)2+a5Ln(X1)Ln(X2)]
1. capital, labour, materials and energy
2. coal, oil, natural gas and electricity.
• Factor specific technological change.
• Typically total employment exogenous, wage rates endogenous.
• Typically total capital stock endogenous, (post-tax) rental rates exogenous.
• Relative factor prices fixed.
Intermediate Demand
• Composite commodity for material inputs.
• Imperfectly substitutable domestic and imported components.
Price Determination
• Price of industry output is determined by the cost of factor inputs (labour and capital), domestic
and imported intermediate inputs, and indirect taxes.
• No super-normal profits.
ESSAM General Equilibrium Model (2)
Private Consumption
• 8 HES, price and income elasticities in an AIDS framework.
• Industry by commodity conversion matrix translates the demand for commodities into
industry output requirements and also allows import-domestic substitution.
Government Consumption
• Usually exogenous level or fixed proportion of GDP.
• Usually exogenous budget balance - tax rates or transfer payments endogenous.
Stocks
• Fixed proportion of an industry’s output.
• Variation permitted in import-domestic composition.
Exports
International export demand functions with arguments:
• World prices
• Domestic prices
• Taxes & subsidies
ESSAM General Equilibrium Model (3)
Investment
Industry investment determined by:
• Rate of return.
• Depreciation.
• Consistent with implied rate of capital accumulation over the projection period.
• Investment by industry of demand converted into investment by industry of supply using a
capital input-output table.
• Import-domestic substitution between sources of supply.
Balance of Payments
• BoP = Investment less Savings, fixed as % of GDP.
• Endogenous real exchange rate.
Income-Expenditure Identity
• GDP (production) = GDP (expenditure) = GDP (income)
• Similarly, income and expenditure flows must balance between the five sectors identified
in the model – business, household, government, foreign and capital.

ESSAM General Equilibrium Model (5)
Other model features
• Solves for relative prices, not absolute price level.
• Household sector in SAM divided into income quintiles.
• Model solved via a non-linear algorithm similar to Davidon Fletcher Powell
algorithm. Matrix algebra using GAUSS.
• Energy flows in both $ and in PJ.
• CO2 emission coefficients for energy combustion and industrial processes.
• CH4 and N2O emissions from pastoral agriculture (process emissions).
Caveats
• Aggregation bias (53 industries).
• Smooth production functions.
• No super-normal profits.
• Average income tax rates for household income quintiles.
• No endogenous technological change.
• Silent on transition costs and paths.
