1 Overview of Dynamic GTAP Model Terrie L. Walmsley Model by: Elena Ianchovichina and Robert A. McDougall

2 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University The Dynamic GTAP Model Based on standard GTAP Model. Recursive Dynamic Accumulation of Capital stocks. Foreign Capital Ownership. Disequilibrium theory of Investment.

3 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University Disequilibrium Approach Equalisation of rates of return over time. Problem 1: Implies Perfect Capital Mobility. Gradual equalisation of rates of return. Perfect Capital Mobility in long-run only. Problem 2: Theory and Data - Inconsistent. Errors in expectations

4 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University Investment Theory 1.Reduction of errors in expectations - expected rate of return moves towards actual rate of return. 2.Gradual movement of rates of return to equality over time. 3.Gradual equalisation of growth rates over time to a steady-state rate. This is required to keep rates of return constant.

5 Developing a Common Baseline Terrie L. Walmsley and Robert A. McDougall

6 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University 1.Many GTAP users are doing Dynamic modeling and need a baseline scenario 2.Country Level (Not GTAP regions). 3. Sharing of data 4. 1990 to 2050. (2100? or pre 1990) 5.GDP, POP, Consumption, Labor, Skilled and Unskilled, Investment, Capital, Protection, Technology, Energy, Savings. Last Year’s Meeting

7 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University A Base Case Scenario 1.Period: 1995 to 2020. 2.Macro: GDP, population, Labor, Skilled and Unskilled labor, Investment, Capital - 202 Countries. 3.Policy: Uruguay Round, Agreement on Textiles and Clothing, China’s Accession, Post-UR tariff reductions - GTAP regions.

8 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University Macro Data GDP, Investment and Population Yearly, 1992 - 2007, 133 countries, WB. Total Labor 5-yearly, 1990 - 2020, 205 countries, WB. Skilled Labor 5-yearly, 1990 - 2020, 71 developing A&F. Single growth rate, 25 developed, WB.

9 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University Macro GDP POP GDI Capital Aggregate to GTAP Regions Unskilled Labor Skilled Labor Fill-in missing countries Extrapolate to fill-in missing years Yearly growth rates for 202 countries (1995-2020) Aggregate to GTAP regions. Macro

14 Labor Unskilled labor - Currently use growth in total labor. Using difference between total and skilled labor causes problems - Developed countries.

15 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University Policy Uruguay Round - Francois and Strutt ATC phase-out (tax equivalents) – GTAP China’s pre-WTO tariff cuts - Fan and Zheng China’s WTO accession - Martin Taiwan - Av mnfcs tariffs reduced to 4% Post-UR - tariffs reduced to zero over 20 years

16 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 UR and ATC Agreement (excluding China and Taiwan) Post-UR Trade Liberalization China’s pre- WTO trade lib China’s (Taiwan) WTO Accession Policy Shocks

19 Center for Global Trade Analysis, Purdue University Policy Shocks Policies are implemented so that the change is the same each year. Further work on ATC - need to be back loaded. Elimination of quotas is treated as a reduction in export tax equivalents.
