Revised Armington Elasticities of Substitution for the USITC Model

and the

Concordance for Constructing a Consistent Set for the GTAP Model

INTRODUCTION

This paper presents a set of Armington substitution elasticities, and the concordances between

different models and their aggregates, which are required to generate a consistent set of elasticities

between the Commission’s U.S. computable general equilibrium model [“the USITC model”] and the

Commission’s Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP) CGE model [“the GTAP model”]. The underlying

CGE models differ in the scope and level of detail. The USITC model is a single country model which

includes 497 sectors/commodities.1

 The GTAP model is a global model, which depicts 78

countries/regions and includes 57 commodities.2

 Because of these differences generating consistent

elasticity sets for any particular analysis, necessitates defining USITC model aggregate

sectors/commodities which will allow mapping to the more aggregate GTAP model commodities. The

example illustrates a 128-sector/commodity USITC model and a 41-commodity GTAP model. For the

U.S. characterization both are based upon the sectors of U.S. economy as defined in the Bureau of

Economic Analysis (BEA) 1992 Input-Output (I-O) accounts.3

 Tables 1 and 2 provide the concordances

between the USITC-128 model sectors/commodities and the GTAP-41 model commodities and the BEA

I-O accounts. In addition, the Armington elasticity is presented for each of the BEA I-O accounts. 

While these two CGE trade models rely upon the same database, the implementation of the

 In both models a two tier decision process is assumed. The first tier is the substitution between the

domestic and foreign commodity and the second tier is the substitution among foreign suppliers of the commodity. In

many global trade models, the Armington elasticity for the second tier decision is equal to twice the value of the

elasticity in the first tier. This observational regularity is reported in P. Jomini, J.F. Zeitsch, R. McDougall, A.

Welsh, S. Brow, J. Hambley, and J. Kelly, SALTER: A General Equilibrium Model of the World Economy, Volume

1. Model Structure, Database and Parameters. (Canberra, Australia: Industry Commission, 1991.) This parameter

convention is referred to in the literature as "the rule-of-two." This practice is used in these two models.

 An elasticity is defined as the percentage change in a variable Y induced by a one percent change in a

variable X, all other things being equal.

models differs. More specifically, the USITC model incorporates both the sector and commodity

dimensions in the I-O account, but the GTAP model only utilizes the commodity dimension that is most

relevant for bilateral trade analyses. Armington substitution elasticities refer to the substitution between a

domestic and an imported commodity.4

 Therefore, the first step in linking the USITC model with the

GTAP model is accomplished by providing the former model’s Armington substitution elasticities to the

U.S. component part of the latter model. This accomplishes the objective of making the Armington

substitution specifications consistent in both models. Next, the set of proportional price changes derived

from simulating a liberalization in the GTAP model is provided to the USITC model. The USITC model

utilizes these global (relative)price changes as a part of the U.S. liberalization scenario. The USITC model

simulation thereby incorporates the global prices as a consequence of the liberalization with the change in

the direct trade distortions imposed by the U.S.

Armington Elasticities

The results of CGE models are largely determined by the choice of behavioral parameters, known

as elasticities, which reflect the sensitivity of consumers and firms to changes in relative prices.5

However, the values of elasticities are generally not known with precision. Elasticities are preferably

generated by statistical or econometric methods based on the historical behavior of prices and quantities

and then examined for consistency with economic theory and analysts’ intuition about products and

industrial processes. For example, the Armington elasticity of substitution between relatively

homogenous agricultural or mining products might be thought to be higher than that between bundles of

differentiated manufactured goods, and a small trade liberalization is not expected lead to a very large

change in trade flows. The values of the USITC model substitution elasticities were selected from those

found in the economic literature or used in prior Commission analyses. The Armington elasticities in table

1 were then reviewed by USITC industry analysts, and adjustments to some of the elasticities were made

to reflect this expertise and then aggregated to the USITC-128 model values that are presented in table 3.

Table 4 presents the 41 Armington substitution elasticities required for a GTAP-41 model. These

elasticities are derive as the trade-weighted average from the USITC-128 model elasticities presented.
