Abstract

The final chapter of this book, which introduces the computable general equilibrium model (CGE) method, is an appendix of regional analysis and the methods of multi-regional DCGE analysis. Written by the authors from their many years of experience, it can be used by regional economic researchers.

The authors of this chapter are Changxin Liu and Yi Sun.
