Abstract: Abstract: A Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) is constructed to evaluate the impact of the appreciation of Renminbi (RMB) on China’s economic sectors quantitatively. The base year database for our CGE model--Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) of 2005 is constructed based on the latest 2005 input-output tables of China. The main results are as follows: RMB appreciation reduces the output of most sectors, except for the construction and services sector. Increased demand for the construction and services sector induces more output because currency revaluation’s wealth effect causes the domestic purchasing power to strengthen. RMB appreciation reduces demands for agricultural labor and most non-agricultural labor. Increased demand for the construction and services sector induces more labor demand because RMB revaluation’s wealth effect.
