Computable General Equilibrium Models for Trade Policy Analysis in Developing Countries: A Survey

Chapter 8 in Modeling Developing Countries' Policies in General Equilibrium, 2015, pp 141-175 from World Scientific Publishing Co. Pte. Ltd.

Abstract: This paper surveys the contributions of computable general equilibrium (CGE) simulation models designed to quantify the implications of alternative trade policy scenarios in developing countries. The paper starts with a review of the basic structure of CGE models, using a one-sector model with product differentiation on the import and export side. The basic properties of CGE models are established and a series of applications to trade policy, internal–external balance and growth, and intertemporal issues are discussed.
