This paper reviews experience with the use of computable or applied general equilibrium
(CGE or AGE) models to affect public policy. The range of issues on which CGE models …

This chapter reviews options of labor market modeling in a computable general equilibrium
framework. On the labor supply side, two principal modeling options are distinguished and …

This paper presents a dynamic macroeconomic model that captures key linkages between
foreign aid, public investment, growth, and poverty. Public capital is disaggregated into …

Two approaches have emerged in the use of CGE models in poverty and income distribution

This chapter presents a technique for evaluating the impact of economic “shocks”—policy
changes and exogenous events—on poverty and inequality, based on a computable …

Alternative approaches to modelling distributional and welfare effects of changes in policy
and the economic environment in developing and transition countries are surveyed …

This paper overviews recent work that has attempted to bring together microsimulation,
Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) and macro models to perform distributional analysis …

The authors study the impact of labor market policies on unemployment in Morocco. They
begin by reviewing the main features of the labor market. Then they present a quantitative …

In the paper we describe in detail how to build linked CGE-microsimulation models (using
fictitious data) following three main approaches: one in accordance with the fully integrated …
