  35. In our model we assume that unemployment is exogenous to the model. Assuming endogenous labor supply in a micro-simulation model requires one to estimate a micro-econometric labor supply model and no database was available for such an extension in Senegal.

  40. We use a relatively high elasticity of substitution of 5, but performed sensitivity analysis on this parameter and our results were robust to these changes.
  41. This does not mean that we assume zero unemployment in the economy, but rather that unemployment is exogenous to the model.
  42. We simulated the policies with other macroeconomic closures. The general trends of the results were maintained, although we observed some slight changes in results. A complete set of equations, variables, and parameters can be obtained from the authors.

  50. In this paper we do not perform an application of a dynamic CGE microsimulation model as this technique has not been applied in the literature yet. Many challenges remain and this constitutes our future research agenda but such an analysis is beyond the scope of this paper. We recall that we aim to highlight the linkages at play and the model was constructed to take into account the 10 to 15 year timeframe of our impact analysis albeit in a comparative static framework.
