This book provides detailed guidelines for applied
policy modeler showing all steps in conducting a
research. It starts with data base construction in
form of social accounting matrix (SAM), continues
with computable general equilibrium (CGE) modeling
and concludes with potential policy analysis.
Although the analyzed case study is for Israel, the
research structure presented in the book can be
easily adapted for any other small open economy. It
is particularly relevant in face of ongoing
negotiations for Kyoto-protocol successor. The
policymakers should be guided by clear principles
based on rigorous analytic foundations and a common
understanding of the key challenges. Climate policy
analysis based on applied general equilibrium
modeling, as presented in the book, supplies
necessary policy recommendations driven by
comprehensive analytical framework.
