Simulating Distributional Impacts of Macro-dynamics: Theory and Practical Applications

Simulating Distributional Impacts Of Macro-dynamics: Theory And Practical Applications Is A Comprehensive Guide For Analyzing And Understanding The Effects Of Macroeconomic Shocks On Income And Consumption Distribution, As Well As Using The Adept Simulation Module. Since Real-time Micro Data Is Rarely Available, The Simulation Module (part Of The Adept Economic Analysis Software) Takes Advantage Of Historical Household Surveys To Estimate How Current Or Proposed Macro Changes Might Impact Household And Individuals Welfare. Using Examples From Different Economic And Social Contexts, The Book Ex Cover; Contents; Foreword; Acknowledgments; Abbreviations; Introduction; Part I: Overview And Theoretical Concepts; Chapter 1 Motivations For The Methodology; How The Adept Simulation Module Compares With Other Approaches; Model Description And Simulation Methodology; Figures; 1.1: Diagram Of The Modeling Process; 1.2: Type I And Type Ii Comparisons; Illustration And Interpretation Of Typical Outputs; Tables; 1.1: Poverty Impacts Of The Financial Crisis In Bangladesh - Type I; 1.2: Poverty Impacts Of The Financial Crisis In Mexico - Type Ii; 1.3: Growth Incidence Curve For The Philippines 1.4: Transitions Across Deciles Of Per Capita Income - Poland1.5: Percentage Of Households In Rural Areas; 1.6: Percentage Of Households That Have Low-skilled Heads; Notes; References; Chapter 2 Technical Discussion; Baseline; Simulation; Assessment; Notes; References; Part Ii: Using The Adept Simulation Module; Chapter 3 Introduction To Use Of The Adept Simulation Module; 3.1: How The Adept Simulation Module Works; Chapter 4 Preparing And Entering Data; Macroeconomic Data; 4.1: Population Projections - Age Brackets; 4.1: Population Growth Projections - Mexico 4.2: Population Projections - Growth Rates Inputs4.2: Gdp Total And Economic-sector Growth Projections - The Philippines; 4.3: Macroeconomic Inputs - Output Growth Rates; 4.4: Macroeconomic Inputs - Specify Second Scenario; 4.5: Macroeconomic Inputs - Second Scenario Enabled; 4.6: Macroeconomic Inputs - Total And Sector Output Growth Rates; 4.3: Philippines Employment; 4.4: Philippines Gdp By Sector; 4.5: Employment-output Elasticity - The Philippines; 4.6: Employment Projections By Economic Sector - The Philippines; 4.7: Activity-output Elasticity - The Philippines 4.8: Labor Force Population - The Philippines4.9: Labor Market Structure - The Philippines; 4.10: Employment Growth Rates Based On Shares - The Philippines; 4.11: Employment Growth Rates Based On Numbers Of Workers - The Philippines; 4.7: Macroeconomic Projections - Employment Relative Growth Rates; 4.8: Macroeconomic Projections - Employment Absolute Growth Rates; 4.12: Growth Rates Of Remittances From Abroad - The Philippines; 4.9: Macroeconomic Projections - International Remittances Growth Rate; Microeconomic Inputs; 4.13: Consumer Price Index - Total, Food, And Non-food - The Philippines 4.10: Macroeconomic Projections - Poverty Line Growth Rate4.14: Consumer Price Index Growth Rate - The Philippines; 4.11: Main Form - Survey Variables; 4.15: List Of Variables From Microdata - Main Tab; 4.16: List Of Variables From Microdata - Employment Tab; 4.12: Employment - Labor Force Status; Other Options; 4.13: Parameters; Notes; References; Chapter 5 Outputs; Tables; 5.1: Adept Simulation Module Tables; 5.1: Simulated Occupation Status; 5.2: Income Structure; Output Datasets; 5.3: Summary And Save Dataset; 5.4: Classification Of An Example List Of Variables Starting From The Outputs: Further Analysis Sergio Olivieri [and Five Others].
