Abstract

This paper reports on the tentative estimation results with sort-run computable general equilibrium model of the Argentine economy described in the Department of Economics Working paper No. 91-07 entitled “Inflation and Stabilization in Argentina After 1975: A Computable General Equilibrium Model” by Klein, Ortiz and Rao (1991). In the section 2, we explain the procedures which were followed in constructing the required data series for estimating the structure. The equations of the model and the procedures adopted in estimating the structure are described in section 3. In section 4 the estimated structure is reported and discussed.
