Editorial Reviews

Presents a computer general equilibrium model developed for Pakistan with the hope that it will lay down a foundation for the application of general equilibrium modelling for policy formulation in the country as it is being driven rapidly towards a capitalist economy. Cites energy pricing policy as a case study to demonstrate how researchers can model the fine details of one sector given the core structure of a model. An entire chapter is devoted to explaining how to get around the tedious preparation of input data. No index. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
