- Summary
- Traditional tools of analysis that focus on particular commodities or sectors, a particular time frame, and aggregate diverse socioeconomic groups are ill-suited to analyze the consequences of the economic reforms of the last ten years. This volume shows the greater power and relevance of applied general equilibrium methods.
- Through discussion of several major policy issues - agricultural and food policy, economies of scale in production and the associated market imperfections, macrostabilization programs, and modeling intertemporal tradeoffs - the contributors present work representative of the major trends in applied general equilibrium modeling of developing-country issues.
- Policy analysis using a rich variety of static, recursive, and intertemporal dynamic models is illustrated with problems from a number of developing countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The countries studied range widely in their institutional features, stages of development, and economic size
