Klappentext This 2005 volume brings together twelve papers honoring Herbert Scarf and discussing developments in applied general equilibrium. Zusammenfassung This 2005 volume brings together twelve papers by many of the most prominent applied general equilibrium modelers honoring Herbert Scarf. The contributors discuss some traditional as well as some modern topics in the field! including non-convexities in economy-wide models! tax policy! developmental modeling and energy modeling.
