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 suited for the analysis of
the interactions of multiple agents from the point of view of a
planner single objective. Combining this technique with the MCDM
approach allows developing models in which we ?nd many interacting
agents and a decision maker with several objectives. The
contribution of this work is partly methodological and partly
applied. It provides a framework for the analysis of this type of
problems, as well as a series of applications in which the strength
of the approach is made clear. The consideration of environmental
problems, as a speci?c ?eld in which this technique of analysis can
be used, is particularly well chosen. The environmental concern
keeps growing steadily and has already become an issue in most of
the standard economic decisions. It is therefore extremely
important to ?nd systematic ways to introduce such a concern in the
models with which we evaluate the impact of policy measures.
