"The Impact of Indirect Taxes on Labor Income and Employment in Morocco: A dynamic CGE Modeling " by Agueny, Fatiha, Aziz Ragbi, Said Ait Faraji, ZAKARIA ELOUAOURTI and Nabil El Baouchari Abstract This study examines the impact of increasing Value Added Tax (VAT) rates on labor income and employment in Morocco on various sectors using a dynamic Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model calibrated by Social Accounting Matrix (SAM 2019). This research introduces a notable innovation by employing a dynamic calculation of sectoral contributions to VAT over time, providing insights of the implications of sectoral tax reforms on labor income, employment by qualification. It evaluates three scenarios, increasing VAT for low-contribution sectors, high-contribution sectors, and both combined. Results show stimulation of growth and incomes. The first scenario creates unskilled jobs in modern sectors needs skilled employment manufacturing. For the medium-skilled jobs the transformation in trade and agriculture by creation more employment there, but reduces unskilled employment in finance. The second scenario boosts skilled jobs in other sector as textiles and medium- skilled jobs in traditional sector in the agriculture specially but reduces jobs in transportation and non-financial services. |
