Abstract

This document presents a prototype specification for a real computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. The prototype has some key features for assessing structural and poverty impacts:

• Item Type: MPRA Paper
• Language: English
• Keywords: computable general equilibrium, prototype
• Subjects: C - Mathematical and Quantitative Methods > C6 - Mathematical Methods ; Programming Models ; Mathematical and Simulation Modeling > C68 - Computable General Equilibrium Models; I - Health, Education, and Welfare > I3 - Welfare, Well-Being, and Poverty > I32 - Measurement and Analysis of Poverty
