DEVELPOMENT OF A CGE MODEL DEALING WITH ENERGY, AGRICULTURE AND LAND USE FOR LONG-TERM SCENARIO ASSESSMENT

Abstract

 We expanded a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model, which has been developed mainly for the assessment of energy system and climate mitigation, to detailed representation of agriculture and land use. This improvement enables the CGE model to deal with the physically consistent linkages among energy, agriculture and land use. We confirmed that the agriculture and land use matters are properly treated in the model. A sensitivity analysis revealed that the income elasticity is one of the key parameters which determine how the demand and supply react to shocks of population, income and land productivity.
