Agenor, Pierre-Richard2014-05-092014-05-092003-05https://hdl.handle.net/10986/18218The author describes a specialized and less data-intensive version of the Integrated Macroeconomic Model for Poverty Analysis (IMMPA) developed by Agenor, Izquierdo, and Fofack (2003) and Agenor, Fernandes, Haddad, and van der Mensbrugghe (2002). The mini-IMMPA focuses only on the "real" side but it offers a more detailed treatment of the labor market (by accounting, for instance, for public education, employment subsidies, and job security provisions) and the tax structure. Simulations of a cut in payroll taxes on unskilled labor show the importance of accounting for the fiscal implications of labor market reforms when assessing their effects on unemployment and poverty.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTINGADVERSE EFFECTSAGGREGATE DEMANDAGGREGATE EMPLOYMENTAGRICULTURAL PRODUCTIONAGRICULTUREAUTONOMOUS CONSUMPTIONAVERAGE INCOMEBALANCE OF PAYMENTSBARRIERS TO ENTRYBASKET OF GOODSBUSINESS CYCLECAPACITY BUILDINGCAPITAL GOODSCONSTANT ELASTICITYDEMAND CURVEDEMAND FUNCTIONSDEMAND SIDEDEVELOPING COUNTRIESDISCOUNT RATEDISTRIBUTIONAL EFFECTSELASTICITYELASTICITY OF SUBSTITUTIONEQUILIBRIUMEQUILIBRIUM MODELSEQUILIBRIUM VALUEEXCHANGE RATEEXOGENOUS RATEEXPORTSEXTERNALITYGDPGROWTH RATEHOUSEHOLD INCOMEHUMAN CAPITALIMPORTSINCOMEINCOME TAXATIONINCOME TAXESINDEXATIONINFORMAL SECTORINSURANCEINTERMEDIATE INPUTSJOB SECURITYLABOR DEMANDLABOR DEMAND CURVELABOR FORCELABOR MARKETLABOR SUPPLYLEISUREM3MARGINAL PRODUCTMARKET DISTORTIONSMIGRATIONNET EFFECTNET OUTPUTNET VALUEOPPORTUNITY COSTPAYROLL TAXESPOLICY CHANGEPOLICY ISSUESPOLICY RESEARCHPOLICY VARIABLESPOPULATION GROWTHPOSITIVE EFFECTPOSITIVE EXTERNALITYPOSITIVE IMPACTPOVERTY ANALYSISPOVERTY REDUCTIONPOVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIESPOWER PLANTSPRIVATE CONSUMPTIONPRIVATE PRODUCTIONPRIVATE SECTORPRODUCERSPRODUCTION FUNCTIONPRODUCTION INPUTSPRODUCTIVITYPROFIT MAXIMIZATIONPUBLIC CAPITALPUBLIC GOODPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICESPUBLIC SPENDINGPURCHASING POWERREAL INCOMEREAL WAGERELATIVE PRICESRETURNS TO SCALERISK AVERSESAVINGSSKILLED LABORSKILLED UNEMPLOYMENTSKILLED WAGESKILLED WAGESSKILLED WORKERSKILLED WORKERSTAX RATESTAXATIONUNEMPLOYMENTUNEMPLOYMENT RATEURBAN AREASURBAN ECONOMYUTILITY FUNCTIONVALUE ADDEDVALUE OF OUTPUTVARIABLE COSTSWAGE DIFFERENTIALSWAGES MACROECONOMIC MODELSPOVERTY ANALYSISUNEMPLOYMENT RATESPOVERTY MEASUREMENTFISCAL REFORMSLABOR MARKETSUNSKILLED WORKERSSUPPLY & DEMANDCONSUMPTION PATTERNSSAVINGSEMPLOYMENT GENERATIONMINIMUM WAGESPAYROLL TAXESWAGESMACROECONOMIC MODELS10.1596/1813-9450-3067
