| Research Abstract |
CGE models for long-term and structural economic policy evaluation have been developed on national and international bases due to data limitation and other reasons. However, prefectures and cities more often receive stronger economic impacts due to price changes, income leakage, production factor movements, and etc. It is therefore highly important to construct SAM (social accounting matrix) and develop CGE (computable general equilibrium) models for regions at the levels lower than the country, and it is the objective of our study.
Literature review and data collection started in the first year. Input-output tables and economic accounting data at prefecture and municipal levels are indispensable to construct regional SAMs. Moreover, detailed expenditure transactions between different levels of governments are also needed to analyze impacts of national subsidy transfers and other policies, but only 13 prefectures are equipped with such data. The situation is poorer for cities with some exception as in the case of City of Osaka.
We constructed SAMs for the prefectures of Hokkaido and Okinawa starting in the first year, and Hyogo and the city of Osaka in the second year, all of which satisfied data requirements. We also developed CGE models to evaluation economic policies and pointed out some interesting findings unique to each region.
