The oil position in the Tunisian economy: Adaptation of computable general equilibrium model

Necibi, Thameur (2014): The oil position in the Tunisian economy: Adaptation of computable general equilibrium model.

Abstract

This article presents several preliminary results of the real prices application on the Tunisian economy through a dynamic computable general equilibrium model.

The objective is to assess the effects of the progressive dismantling policies of oil products subsidy on the economic growth, the sectoral dynamics and, to a lesser extent, on the household incomes. The simulations on the crude oil price and on the subsidies granted to oil products have redrew new structures of the prices and have modified their levels. The analysis of the impacts of this simulation studies the effects of these new prices data on the economic agents and on the economy in general.
