Abstract: |
The transportation system in Thailand has been biased in favor of road
transport as investment in rail transport involves large scale budget and government
policy. The favorable attribute of rail transport is more competitive freight cost in
exchange for large investment. This study employs the computable general
equilibrium (CGE) model in ORANI tradition (Dixon et al., 1982) as the tool for the
accounting of economic benefits, economic cost, environmental benefits and
environmental costs. The increase in rail transport investment is feed into the CGE
system to offer the measurement of economic and environmental impacts. The 2005
edition of 58 sectors version of the input-output table of Thailand was used as CGE
model database. The original input-output table was modified to single out land
transport and rail transport so that the classification consists of 60 sectors. The choice
of specification of the CGE model requires a total of 16,414 variables and 15,933
equations which offers 481 structural exogenous variables. |
