This technical paper presents the complete technical specification of the current version of the RE-GEM (Regional and Environmental General Equilibrium Model) for India. The document lists all the key structural and behavioural equations, providing a justification for the chosen model specification. In addition, a complete description is provided of the estimation methods and the sources of the Indian data used in the model; an aggregated version of the Indian regional Social Accounting Matrix we constructed is appended to this document. The object is to inform in the most detailed way possible researchers interested in building on the OECD’s modelling effort, and to provide a useful tool for informing the debate on the economics of environmental policy in developing countries ...

Ce document technique présente l’ensemble des données techniques de la version actuelle du modèle d’équilibre général régional et environnemental (RE-GEM — Regional and Environmental General Equilibrium Model) utilisé pour l’Inde. Toutes les équations structurelles et comportementales clés y sont répertoriées et viennent justifier les caractéristiques retenues. Ce document propose en outre une description complète des méthodes d’estimation et des sources utilisées pour les données indiennes ; une version agrégée de la matrice régionale de comptabilité sociale construite pour l’Inde est fournie en annexe. Les auteurs souhaitent ainsi donner un maximum d’informations aux chercheurs désireux de poursuivre les travaux de modélisation de l’OCDE ; ils espèrent aussi contribuer, avec cet instrument, au débat sur l’économie des politiques d’environnement dans les pays en développement ...
