Includes bibliographical references and index. Designing Public Policies; An Approach Based on Multi-Criteria Analysis and Computable General Equilibrium Modeling; Foreword; Preface; Acknowledgements; Contents; Chapter 1: General Framework: Policy Making as a Problem with Multiple Criteria; Chapter 2: Economic Policy Using Applied General Equilibrium Models: An Overview; Chapter 3: Basic Aspects of the Multiple Criteria Decision Making Paradigm; Chapter 4: Multicriteria Economic Policies: General Ideas and Some Previous Experiences; Chapter 5: Building a CGE Model for Economic and Environmental Policies This book presents a methodological approach for the joint design of economic and environmental policies. The starting point is the observation that, in practice, policy makers do not usually have a well-defined objective, but they are typically concerned about a number of economic and environmental indicators that conflict with each other. In view of this, policy making is addressed by combining two separate analytical approaches: multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) and computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling. The aim is to come up with a methodological framework for policy design |
