      abstract = {This paper extends the GTAP framework to aid in the  analysis of changes to public procurement policies. In  terms of data developments, government investment demand  data is estimated for each of the 57 GTAP Commodities in  the 140 regions of version 9. In addition, the origin of  imports by end use (i.e., for firms, private consumption,  government consumption, and investment) is determined  following the recent literature. Another layer of valuation  is also introduced, which captures the preferences towards  domestic production. In terms of model extensions, there is  a new nest in the production structure that allows for  different procurement regimes, and the origin of imports by  agents end use is incorporated. We illustrate this  framework by simulating the impact of a hypothetical  reduction in the domestic preference in one of the newly  introduced procurement regimes. Future work should focus on  estimation of these domestic preference margins},
