Computing Endogenous Transformations in Processing Networks: A Dynamic Calibration Approach
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
Understanding how global supply chains endogenously transform in response to disruptions requires a parametric model of processing networks with non-neutral substitution elasticiti…
Price Responses of Rwandan Tungsten Exports under Conflict Minerals Regulation
Haruka Nagamori, Kazuhiko Nishimura
Section 1502 of the Dodd--Frank Act, enacted in 2010, requires U.S.-listed companies using tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (3TG) from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and adj…
The Impact of Dodd-Frank and the Huawei Shock on DRC Tin Exports
Haruka Nagamori, Kazuhiko Nishimura
This paper investigates the structural transformation of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) tin market induced by the U.S. Dodd-Frank Act. Focusing on the breakdown of the…
Optimal longevity of a dynasty
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
Standard optimal growth models implicitly impose a ``perpetual existence'' constraint, which can ethically justify infinite misery in stagnant economies. This paper investigates th…
How do we measure trade elasticity for services?
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
This paper is about our attempt of identifying trade elasticities through the variations in the exchange rate, for possible applications to the case of services whose physical tran…
The elastic origins of tail asymmetry
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
Based on a multisector general equilibrium framework, we show that the sectoral elasticity of substitution plays the key role in the evolution of asymmetric tails of macroeconomic…
Productivity propagation with networks transformation
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
We model sectoral production by cascading binary compounding processes. The sequence of processes is discovered in a self-similar hierarchical structure stylized in the economy-wid…
Bilateral multifactor CES general equilibrium with state-replicating Armington elasticities
Jiyoung Kim, Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
We measure elasticity of substitution between foreign and domestic commodities by two-point calibration such that the Armington aggregator can replicate the two temporally distant…
Structural propagation in a production network with restoring substitution elasticities
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
We model an economy-wide production network by cascading binary compounding functions, based on the sequential processing nature of the production activities. As we observe a hiera…
Optimal Population in a Finite Horizon
Satoshi Nakano, Kazuhiko Nishimura
A favorable population schedule for the entire potential human family is sought, under the overlapping generations framework, by treating population (or fertility) as a planning va…
