24 Dairy’s role in generating growth 5. Conclusion Our modelling shows that the dairy sector has delivered significant and ongoing benefits to the New Zealand economy. Two historical case studies, based on events of the last decade, illustrate how tangible and widely known changes to the dairy sector have flowed through to the rest of the economy. Volume and price growth in the sector has delivered benefits to a wide range of sectors outside of the dairy industry, and has generated living standard improvements across New Zealand’s regional economies, including in metropolitan areas such as Auckland and Wellington.
Appendix A CGE modelling framework A.1 The MONASH-New Zealand CGE model: overview The MONASH-NZ dynamic CGE model contains information on 131 industries and 210 commodities in its basic form. CGE modelling is a highly-respected and well-developed technique that has a rich history for assessing policy, regional and industry questions. Our model was developed in close collaboration with Monash University, a global leader in building and applying CGE models. It captures the various inter-linkages between these sectors, as well as their links to households (via the labour market), the government sector, capital markets and the global economy (via imports and exports). A visual representation is shown in Figure 10 highlighting the complex and multidirectional relationships between the various parts of an economy. For this study we have calibrated the dairy industry in our database to match the aggregate dairy industry figures provided by Fonterra and Dairy NZ. More technical detail on the model is presented below. The model also includes a regional component. A ‘top-down’approach is used to decompose national impacts to the regional level, using regional employment data as weighting. If a region has a high share of national output, then its regional industry output will be proportionally affected. The exception is industries that produce commodities (mostly services) that are largely consumed within a region. These are deemed to be local industries, and it is assumed that their output moves in line with the local demand for the corresponding commodity, rather than with the national industry output. Final This report captures - 16 November 2010 “regional multiplier”effects: spending within a region specifically benefits services with that region (Horridge, 2008).
