Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) modelling is now an established research tool and this collection of papers demonstrates current activity in the field under three headings - methodology, trade and energy issues. The latest techniques used in this policy assessment tool are described.

Over the last 20 years, Applied General Equilibrium (AGE) modelling has developed from a small academic research program into an established policy assessment tool. Major governments and international agencies maintain AGE research groups, and draw upon their input for a variety of trade, tax and other resource allocation issues. This collection of papers describes current activity in the AGE field. Contributions have been grouped into a methodological section, a trade section and a section on energy issues.
