“…A CGE approach has not been widely applied to exploring fisheries, though it has been shown that there is significant potential for extending a standard CGE framework to take into account fish population and management dynamics (Banerjee et al, 2016). The approach developed in this module follows guidance from the literature related to the integrated ecosystem-based -11-management of fisheries, which considers the entire ecosystem, including humans (Pikitch et al, 2004).…”

“…With the recent publication of the first international standard for environmental-economic accounting, the System of Environmental-Economic Accounting Central Framework (SEEA CF; UN et al, 2014), the analytical strength of this approach are significantly enhanced. This paper builds on and operationalizes Banerjee et al's (2016) conceptual framework for integrating data organized under the SEEA into CGE models to construct an Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling (IEEM) platform. IEEM enables the analysis of public policy and investment impacts on the economy and the environment in a quantitative, comprehensive and consistent framework (Banerjee, Cicowiez, Horridge, & Vargas, 2016).…”

This paper develops and operationalizes the Integrated Economic-Environmental Modelling (IEEM) platform which integrates environmental data organized under the first international standard for environmental-economic accounting with a powerful economy-wide modelling approach. IEEM enables the ex-ante economic analysis of public policies and investment on the economy and the environment in a quantitative, comprehensive and consistent framework. IEEM elucidates the two-way interrelationships between the economy and environment, considering how economic activities depend on the environment as a source of inputs and as a sink for its outputs. In addition to standard economic impact indicators such as gross domestic product, income and employment, IEEM generates indicators that describe policy impacts on the use of environmental resources, wealth and environmental quality which together determine prospects for future economic growth and well-being. To illustrate the analytical capacity of IEEM, the model is calibrated with Guatemala's environmental-economic accounts and applied to analysis of its forest and fuelwood sector where negative health and environmental impacts arise from inefficient household fuelwood use.

Sustaining environmental flows in water‐deficient rivers via inter‐basin hydropower transfer

In water-deficient rivers, environmental flows (e-flows) are usually sustained via interbasin water transfer projects from water-sufficient rivers, but these projects incur tremendous costs and may lead to many negative ecological effects, such as ecological invasion. This research proposed to transfer hydropower instead of water from watersufficient rivers, because hydropower could substitute for water to promote economic development and reduce water withdrawal from water-deficient rivers (conserved water). In addition, based on the analysis of eco-hydrological processes, the flow regime alteration plays an important role in restoring riverine ecosystem. With the goal of minimum flow regime alternation, we set up two scenarios to distribute the annual conserved water, and determined the optimal amount of transferred hydropower and the optimal use of conserved water, which could effectively sustain the e-flows. Accordingly, this paper established a computable general equilibrium model to analyse the substitution of hydropower for water in a water-deficient river basin, and determined the water withdrawal volume that could be reduced. We adopted a range-ofvariability approach to measure the degree of flow regime alteration, and optimized the flow regime management scheme. The Luanhe River Basin was adopted as a study case. The results showed that: the water-hydropower equivalent decreased as the transferred hydropower into the Luanhe River Basin increased; a transferred hydropower amount of 22.46 kWh/s, equivalent to 18.30 m 3 /s conserved water, was optimal for the river basin; the conserved water should be distributed to the Luanhe River in the proportions of 0.55:0.1:0.35 during the wet, normal and dry seasons, respectively, which is the optimal scheme to sustain the hydrological processes of the river.
