Applying General Equilibrium

Aims to make more widely available a body of recent research activity that has become known as applied general equilibrium analysis. The central idea is to convert the Walrasian general equilibrium structure from an abstract representation of an economy into realistic models of actual economies.

The applications in the book illustrate a number of ways in which fresh insights are provided in longstanding policy controversies.
