Virtual water and its effect in Huaihe River basin: an analysis using a dynamic multi-region computable general equilibrium model

A dynamic multi-region computable general equilibrium (CGE) model is used to analyze virtual water and its effect in the Huaihe River basin, which includes Jiangsu, Anhui, Shandong and Henan provinces. The baseline scenario was first constructed to describe the trade situation and virtual water amon...
