Macro-economy impact analysis of technical barriers to trade: Based on CGE model

The technical barriers to trade (TBT) to one industry set up by developed countries not only affect one single industry of China, but also influence the output of other industries, the overall macro-economic level and the residents´ welfare standards, due to the economic system is interactive. Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model is based on general equilibrium theory, which is a useful tool to analyze such complicated influences. In this paper, we will analyze the impacts suffered by China due to TBT on electronic information products set up by European Union. Based on general equilibrium theory, we will construct special ETBT-CGE model to simulate the influences suffered by China on this problem.
