Notes on Estimation of Logistics Impact of Trade Policies: A Recursively Dynamic Applied General Equilibrium Approach

This book, is the result of my studies, which use the dynamic Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP, GDyn) simulations for exploring impacts of international trade on logistics services. As the demand for logistics depends mostly on the volume of trade and trade patterns, international trade affects the transport and logistics, as it might generate a higher or lower demand for transport and logistics services in long-term.



This book consists of two parts and five chapters. First part of the book shortly introduces you to the general concepts of the computable general equilibrium models (CGE) and presents you fundamentals of a dynamic general equilibrium models. In each chapter of the last part, two short articles that simulate various scenarios are presented.



Each chapter of this book is independent of each other. I hope you will find this book informative, beneficial and appropriate for your needs.
