Designing Public Policies: An Approach Based on Multi-Criteria Analysis and Computable General Equilibrium Modeling

This monograph provides a novel approach to the evaluation of economic policy by combining two different analytical strategies. On the one hand, the computable general equilibrium (CGE) analysis, a standard tool mostly used to quantify the impact of economic measures or changes in the structural data of the economy. On the other hand, the multiple criteria decision—making (MCDM) approach, an op— misation technique that deals with problems with more than one objective. Ty— cally, CGE is well...
