| Abstract | This paper presents a microsimulation model in a General Equilibrium framework applied to Madagascar. The model is primarily focused on labor markets and labor allocation at the household level, and consumption behavior is also modeled. At the aggregate level, it allows for the endogenous determination of relative prices between sectors. The model represents the behavior of a sample of 4,500 representative households in an economy with 3 sectors (agricultural, informal, and formal) and 4 goods (food crop, cash crop, informal good, and formal good). It takes explicitly into account heterogeneity in human capital endowments, as well as preferences in terms of consumption at the microeconomic level. Modeling choices were driven by a desire to construct a model that makes the best possible use of microeconomic information derived from household data. The results confirm the usefulness of this class of models, which permit the computation of poverty and inequality measures without resorting to the representative agent assumption. _________________________________ Ce papier presente un modele de microsimulation en equilibre general applique a Madagascar. Ce modele presente deux caracteristiques innovantes, a savoir, d'une part, la modelisation des comportements d'allocation du temps de travail au niveau micro-economique, d'autre part, la prise en compte de certains effets d'equilibre general a travers la determination endogene des prix et des facteurs. Le modele represente le comportement d'un echantillon de 4.500 menages representatifs de la population malgache, dans une economie a 3 secteurs (agricole, informel et formel) et 4 biens (alimentaire, agricole d'exportation, informel et formel). Ce modele traite explicitement de l'heterogeneite des qualifications, des preferences et des opportunites d'allocation du travail, ainsi que des preferences de consommation au niveau micro-economique. Les choix de modelisation ont ete guides par le souci d'utiliser le mieux possible l'information micro-economique derivee des donnees de menages. Les resultats des simulations confirment la contribution de l'approche a l'analyse de l'impact de differents chocs de croissance sur les inegalites et la pauvrete. |
