Patterns in Household Demand and Saving
TL;DR: In this article, the changing structure of consumer preferences is viewed as it evolves in a developing economy, and broad patterns in household demand and saving are identified using national accounts data for seventeen countries which span the development spectrum; per capita GNP is used as a classification index.
Journal ArticleDOI
The constant elasticity of transformation production frontier and linear supply system
Alan A. Powell,F. H. G. Gruen +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors define the elasticity of transformation analogously with substitution and derive the family of constant elasticity-of-transformation (CET) production possibility schedules, which are algebraically identical with CES isoquants, apart from a difference of sign determining their concavity.
Journal ArticleDOI
An implicitly additive demand system
Maureen T. Rimmer,Alan A. Powell +1 more
TL;DR: The problem of endowing large applied general equilibrium models with numerical values for parameters is formidable as mentioned in this paper, and the problem of estimating a complete set of own-and cross-price elasticities of demands for the MONASH model of the Australianeconomy involves in excess of 50000 items.
Journal ArticleDOI
The contribution of applied general equilibrium analysis to policy reform in Australia
Alan A. Powell,Richard H. Snape +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors trace the history of the IMPACT Project, an initiative of the Australian Industry (formerly Industries Assistance) Commission in association with a number of Australian universities, which has been instrumental in securing the widespread acceptance of the applied general equilibrium (GE) method in applied policy economics.
