Abstract
This paper carries out a survey of CGE and Microsimulation models used in
the evaluation of issues related directly or indirectly to incomes distribution.
Different model structures are discussed which have been employed for
country-specific, multi-country and region-specific studies. The paper
considers the relevance of a relatively recent approach in modeling_linking
CGE frameworks with microsimulation models, for the incomes distribution
and poverty analysis. Finally we discuss the practical application of this
methodology along with a detailed picture of some active CGEmicrosimulation
models.
