Summary
In this chapter, we deconstruct the computable general equilibrium model and describe its core elements. These include sets, endogenous and exogenous variables, exogenous parameters, behavioral and identity equations, and model closure. We describe composite commodities and prices, price relationshipds, price normalization, price transmission, and the numeraire. We explain how the CGE model runs and how to carry out an experiment.
