This collection is particularly important because it presents a history of modeling applications and examines competing points of view. The book presents coherent summaries of CGE theories that inform major model types ; covers the construction of CGE databases, model solving, and computer-assisted interpretation of results ; and shows how CGE modeling has made a contribution to economic policy.
