Summary

This book will introduce you to computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. A CGE model is a powerful analytical tool that can help you gain a better understanding of real-world economic issues. Computable general equilibrium models are a class of economic model that over the past three decades has gained widespread use in the economics profession, particularly in government. Economists today are using these models to systematically analyze some of the most important policy challenges and economic “shocks” of the twenty-first century, including global climate change, trade agreements, the spread of human diseases, and international labor migration.
