"Getting the best of two worlds? Combing single country data and the GTAP Data Base for work with MANAGE-WB" by Britz, Wolfgang, Lulit Mitik Beyene, Alhassane Camara, Martin Aaroee Christensen, Mei Mei Aileen Lam, Ragchaasuren Galindev, Noe Nicolas Reidt and Jan Witajewski-Baltvilks Abstract This paper details how GTAP Data are used to construct a SAM or complement SAMs for use with the World Bank’s MANAGE-WB model. It discusses pros and cons of using a harmonized, ready-to-use global database versus building a single country SAM bottom up. The main advantage of the GTAP database for single country CGE work is that a SAM can be made available instantaneously for now around 140 countries, combined with relatively high commodity and factor detail, and the harmonized link to satellite data on emissions and land use. Dis-advantages compared to a bottom-up approach are a potential larger statistical time gap, corrections to observed trade and other statistics at country level to achieve global consistency and potentially missing detail for products in the focus of a specific project. The team around MANAGE-WB therefore uses a mixed approach, where GTAP data might be corrected or updated based on newer macro data if construction of a SAM bottom-up is not possible. GTAP data also play an important role in case a SAM is constructed from other data. GTAP data can provide information to split up certain transactions, for instance to introduce detail on power generation, and delivers emission inventories or data on land use. |
