Abstract
Progress in the development of generalized equilibrium modeling can be measured in terms of the number of models constructed and the number of modelers and users. This paper summarizes some of these numerical measures of progress. As indicated by these measures, significant progress is being made in the field of generalized equilibrium modeling. But such material measures of progress do not adequately characterize the current impact of the models, their progress, or the important role played by other closely related modeling methodologies in the development of generalized equilibrium modeling. This paper therefore goes beyond the numerical measures to describe the relation of generalized equilibrium modeling to other modeling methodologies and to summarize the significant milestones, current trends, and opportunities for research in generalized equilibrium modeling.
