Abstract: AbstractThis paper describes FEDERAL-F, a large-scale general-purpose multiregional computable general equilibrium model. The model is dynamic and can be used for forecasting, policy analysis and historical analysis. Large-scale CGE models are commonly used in Australia and play a central role in policy analysis. In this paper, we provide an overview of the core of FEDERAL-F's equations via a stylized representation that expresses the model's equations in functional form. An illustrative application demonstrating the power of the model is undertaken. It demonstrates that a feasible state government fiscal policy to halt Tasmania's declining share of national GDP does not exist.
