GE_GRAVITY: Stata module to solve a simple general equilibrium one sector Armington-CES trade model

Statistical Software Components from Boston College Department of Economics

Abstract: ge_gravity solves for general equilibrium effects of changes in trade policies using a one sector Armington-CES trade model. It uses a simple fixed point algorithm that allows for fast computation. This approach, together with the implementation in Stata, make this program ideal for bootstrapping confidence intervals for general equilibrium simulations based on prior gravity estimates of FTAs or other similar variables. Examples of references which conduct general equilibrium analysis based on FTA estimates in this way include Egger, Larch, Staub, & Winkelmann (2011), Anderson & Yotov (2016), and Baier, Yotov, & Zylkin (2019). Yotov, Piermartini, Monteiro, & Larch (2016) provide a detailed survey and introduction to the topic.
