Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models are widely used by
governmental organizations and academic institutions to analyze the
economy-wide effects of events such as climate change, tax
policies, and immigration. This book provides a practical, how-to
guide to CGE models suitable for use at the undergraduate college
level. Its introductory level distinguishes it from other available
books and articles on CGE models. The book provides intuitive and
graphical explanations of the economic theory that underlies a CGE
model and includes many examples and hands-on modeling exercises.
It may be used in courses on economics principles, microeconomics,
macroeconomics, public finance, environmental economics, and
international trade and finance, because it shows students the role
of theory in a realistic model of an economy. The book is also
suitable for courses on general equilibrium models and research
methods, and for professionals interested in learning how to use
CGE models.
