Features of CGE Models: Technical Papers


These technical papers are designed to provided information about the behavioural relationships and technical features found in many CGE models. The details in these papers do not related to specific model specifications, rather they are generic and can be applied in many models. Some are found in some variants of the  STAGE and GLOBE models.


All these papers are periodically revised and updated.
