There are certain important areas for economic policy that have been largely overlooked.

Many books have been written on computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. However, there are certain important areas for economic policy that have been largely overlooked. This intermediate/advanced text presents the topic as a methodology for the analysis of macro and fiscal policies in modern economies while introducing levels of disaggregation that are beyond the scope of standard macro models.

The book begins by presenting the historical and intuitive background of general equilibrium analysis. Moving on, computer software is introduced to derive numerical solutions for economic models. The authors provide examples of code, bringing in data sources that have become the foundations of CGE applications. The methodology presented here, which differs from other CGE books, includes financial assets, government budget deficits, and debt financing of private investment. These topics are analyzed in the context of dynamic optimization, generating endogenous variables such as inflation, interest, and growth rates. The book also devotes significant attention to the applications of CGE models to developing economies.

This textbook comes with a range of downloadable supplements and will be a valuable resource for students taking a CGE course as part of a program in advanced microeconomics, macroeconomics, development economics, or international trade economics.

Arvustused

"A very clearly written and self-contained guide to applying state-of-the-art computable general equilibrium models to key issues in modern macroeconomics. The applications to developing economies are particularly compelling, including how to incorporate the underground economy and financial repression. An important reference for students, researchers, and practitioners."

Kenneth Rogoff, Maurits C. Boas Professor of Economics, Harvard University, https://scholar.harvard.edu/rogoff

"Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modelling is an essential tool in economics. This book by a team led by one of the most eminent international scholars in CGE modelling will become the go-to for teaching this subject. Generally, students, researchers and practitioners will profit from the insights in this excellent volume."

Jorge Martinez-Vazquez, Founding Director International Center for Public Policy, Georgia State University

"This book provides a detailed and useful introduction for students of economics to CGE models. The book extends their applications to include areas such as monetary theory, tax evasion, development economics and others, areas that have become relevant in todays environment."

Vito Tanzi, PhD, Honorary President, International Institute of Public Finance
