"Quantifying the Economic Impact of the U.S. Seafood Import Monitoring Program (SIMP) on Global Fisheries: A GTAP-HS Disaggregation Approach"
Authors: Lim, Byeong-ho


Abstract
This paper documents the data-construction methodology for a highly disaggregated GTAP-HS computable general equilibrium database in which the standard shery sector is decomposed into 121 HS6-level commodities
38 aquaculture raw products, 38 wild-capture raw products, 41 processed seafood items, and 4 ancillary categories (laver, other seaweed, shmeal, and a residual agri- shery class). Building on the species-de nition and trade-disaggregation framework presented in earlier work, the paper concentrates on a component that prior studies treated only summarily: the value-based disaggregation of domestic production. We introduce the VDMK (Value of Domestic purchases at Market prices) procedure, which xes each region’s farmed total to the observed FAO country-level aquaculture value and distributes the remaining capture envelope across species using FAO production quantities and a capture-to-aquaculture price coe cient derived from national statistics. The contribution is a transparent, reproducible pipeline that preserves the GTAP control totals while delivering species-level resolution suitable for commodity-speci c policy simulation.
