TERM-China is a multiregional economic model of China.
You can purchase customised versions focusing on regions, sectors and occupations that meet your requirements.
TERM-China features
TERM-China features include:
- a computable general equilibrium (CGE) framework capturing the behaviour of economic agents (producers, households, investors, importers/exporters and government) in Chinese regions linked by interregional trade and economy-wide constraints (see documentation & literature)
- 145 sectors and 31 regions the purchaser can choose from
- easy-to-use software with a user-friendly interface (request a demonstration model)
- extensive model documentation.
TERM-China is an update and adaptation of the original TERM model of the Australian economy. It is now used in many countries. TERM’s theoretical structure incorporates standard modelling of resource constraints and price-responsive behaviour. The model’s theory and database construction method are extensively documented in refereed journals and book chapters. Model purchasers are provided with clear operating manuals.
Uses of a TERM-China model
TERM-China is a powerful tool for short-run and long-run analysis of economic shocks affecting China and its regions. The TERM-China database is developed using detailed official national and regional statistics. Users of TERM-China can assess the economic impacts on their own regions, other regions and the nation of new economic policies and events, such as:
- major infrastructure/industrial projects
- major events (e.g. hosting a championship event, or Olympics)
- changes in state/national tax rates
- changes in wages policy.
For more examples of policy applications, see Model applications.

Standard package
Our standard package is a two-region model:
- Region of interest, plus rest of China
- 60 sectors
Customised packages
Packages customized to suit your requirements may be requested. The regional, industrial and occupational aggregation can be chosen subject to the following limits. The limits are imposed to allow for reasonable computation time and solution stability. The work required to prepare an aggregation increases with size so more detailed aggregations are more expensive.
- Up to 31 regions selected from a set of 31 regions.
- Up to 80 industries selected from a set of 145 industries.
- The number of regions multiplied by the number of industries must not exceed 400 (Regions X Industries <= 400).
