| Summary: | This paper presents a general
equilibrium analysis applied to evaluate different growth
policy options for Afghanistan. The analysis is part of a
larger analytical work program undertaken by the World Bank
which aims at enhancing understanding of Afghanistan’s
growth and fragility challenges. In this paper, the authors
analyze the potential growth drivers from the increase in
foreign aid as well as from the implementation of a series
of reforms and pubic investment options, specifically in
mining and agriculture. The paper is structured as follows:
The authors first present the structure of the Computable
General Equilibrium (CGE) model and the data used to
calibrate it. Then, the authors present the baseline
scenario and the simulation scenarios. Finally, the authors
present results from the simulation scenario and draw some conclusions. |
