مصفوفة الحسابات الاجتماعية مدخلا لبناء نموذج التوازن العام القابل للحساب للقتصاد الوطني الليبي

Abstract

In Libya, there is always a continuous and growing need to use consistent economic data on all sectors of the national economy to support economic analysis and develop macroeconomic models. The Social Accounts Matrix (SAM) is an important tool as a socio-economic database, especially for the data needed for a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model. In view of the importance of building Libyan technical capacities in the field of economic modeling, this paper aims to highlight the necessity and importance of building the SAM for the Libyan national economy and focusing on the foundations and requirements for building SAM - and how to rely on SAM in conducting economic analysis. Also, as an introduction to building a CGE model for the national economy, and with the aim of conducting, for example, a simulation of economic policies, great efforts are required to prepare the necessary data for its operation, represented in building a SAM for the national economy.
