Investigation of Japanese electricity industry using a CGE model of translog function
Journal of Economic Structures, 2019 CGE models are usually used for policy analysis. The conventional CGE models use CES function because of being a convenience for modeling. Moreover, some of the CGE models use a multi-CES function to model the multi-layered production process.

Trade Liberalization and Labor Market Monopsony Power: Evidence From China
Review of International Economics, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 632-657, August 2026.ABSTRACT We study the effect of trade liberalization on firms' monopsony power in the labor market.
