Saskatchewan Adoption of CGE

A CGE model from a typical Canadian province perspective has been first developed and applied to the Province of Saskatchewan, to explore the impacts of a carbon tax on the socio-economic system and support the application of a carbon tax. This adoption has been applied to British Colombia, Alberta, Manitoba, Saskatchewan. Results have been produced for 2011-2015.
