A computable general equilibrium model is a category of models that employs the use of actual data of economy in the estimation of the reaction manner of an economy to certain changes of external factors such as policy, technology among others (Peter, 2016). The equations contained in CGE are usually those that describe detailed database and model variables. These equations are neo-classical in nature, and they often assume behaviors of average pricing, household demands, and producers in minimizing costs. Most of the CGE models, however, when it comes to the paradigm of theoretical general equilibrium, they conform slightly (Mary, 2017). For instance, the demand is not affected by the price; there is clearing for non-market e.g. for commodities (inventories) and labor (unemployment), then lastly, a competition that is imperfect for example the pricing of monopoly. The database of CGE consists of two things; the elasticities and the transaction values’ table.
I-O matrix can be described as a representation which shows the accounting of a region or a nation. This representation is a record of the ways industries trade with one another. It also indicates the production of these industries in terms of investments and consumption. The IO demand-driven multiplier and the IO tables are very appropriate in when it comes to the framework of accounting (Karen & Michelle, 2011). This is especially in the analysis of the conventional pollution attribution. This is because they readily provide all the required information on the pollution imposed in interrogational trade flows and the inter-sectoral interactions. It is, however, a limitation when it comes to the manner in which due to changes in the marginal activities; how the economy moves from equilibrium to another. This is where the integration of IO accounting and CGE modeling come into play. In the combination, CGE as a framework is used in the modeling of the impacts that results from the changes arising from the activity. The IO analysis here is employed when attributing the embodied pollution in the interregional trade flows. The latter happens ...
