Résumé :
|
This book provides a comprehensive survey of multisector, economy wide planning models, with particular attention to issues of trade, distribution, growth, and structural change. the authors combine theoretical discussion of the properties of multisector applied equilibrium models with numerical applications to particular countries and problems. the models considered range from input-output and linear programming to the more recent nonlinear computable general equilibrium models. the authors consider how these models can be used to analyze questions of growth and structural change, the selection of foreign exchange regime, and the impact of alternative development strategies on the distribution of income. the empirical applications are based both on cross-country analysis and on the experience of particular countries and demonstrate how such models provide a useful framework for policy analysis. particular attention is focused on the problems of planning and policy formulation in mixed-market economies and on the nature of models required to capture the important mechanisms that constrain policy makers.
