UNDERSTANDING THE UNIQUE IMPACTS OF ECONOMIC GROWTH VARIABLES*
使用一个小城市的可计算一般均衡模型，研究出口和本地部门扩张、全要素生产率变化以及人口增长对经济的影响，发现每种增长源对经济活动水平和分布的影响差异显著，并为政策制定者提供企业招募类型的指导。
ABSTRACT The paper uses a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model for a small city to examine how expansions in export and local sectors, changes in total factor productivity (TFP), and growth in population impact an economy. We examine the effects of each source of growth and find that the level and distribution of economic activity vary considerably. We also evaluate each source of growth in the context of a variety of policy metrics, which provide guidelines to policy makers, including the types of firms to be recruited in specific regions.
