Modeling North American Economic Integration presents descriptions
of the models and the central results obtained by four teams of
economic modelers who analyze the impact of the North American Free
Trade Agreement (NAFTA) on the economies of Canada, Mexico and the
USA. Preliminary versions of these four modeling efforts were
presented at a conference with the same title as the book, held in
March 1991 at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis and sponsored
by El Colegio de Mexico and the Institute for Empirical
Macroeconomics. The book also includes a Foreword by Jaime
Serra-Puche, the former Secretary of Trade and Industrial
Development in Mexico and that country's chief negotiator of NAFTA,
plus two essays by the editors. The first provides an overview and
discussion of the results obtained by the modeling groups, and the
second provides a critical survey of the sort of applied general
equilibrium model employed by these groups. A final chapter
discusses the results of the models in relation to the 1994-95
financial crisis in Mexico.
A major, new, and comprehensive look at six decades of
macroeconomic policies across the region What went wrong with the
economic development of Latin America over the past
half-century? Along with periods of poor economic
performance, the region’s countries have been plagued by a wide
variety of economic crises. This major new work brings together
dozens of leading economists to explore the economic performance of
the ten largest countries in South America and of Mexico. Together
they advance the fundamental hypothesis that, despite different
manifestations, these crises all have been the result of poorly
designed or poorly implemented fiscal and monetary policies.Â
Each country is treated in its own section of the book, with a lead
chapter presenting a comprehensive database of the country’s
fiscal, monetary, and economic data from 1960 to 2017. The chapters
are drawn from one-day academic conferences—hosted in all but one
case, in the focus country—with participants including noted
economists and former leading policy makers. Cowritten with Nobel
Prize winner Thomas J. Sargent, the editors’ introduction
provides a conceptual framework for analyzing fiscal and monetary
policy in countries around the world, particularly those less
developed. A final chapter draws conclusions and suggests
directions for further research. A vital resource for advanced
undergraduate and graduate students of economics and for economic
researchers and policy makers, A Monetary and Fiscal History of
Latin America, 1960–2017 goes further than any book in stressing
both the singularities and the similarities of the economic
histories of Latin America’s largest countries. Contributors:

This 2005 volume brings together twelve papers by many of the most
prominent applied general equilibrium modelers honoring Herbert
Scarf, the father of equilibrium computation in economics. It deals
with developments in applied general equilibrium, a field which has
broadened greatly since the 1980s. The contributors discuss some
traditional as well as some modern topics in the field, including
non-convexities in economy-wide models, tax policy, developmental
modeling and energy modeling. The book also covers a range of
distinct approaches, conceptual issues and computational
algorithms, such as calibration and areas of application such as
macroeconomics of real business cycles and finance. An introductory
chapter written by the editors maps out issues and scenarios for
the future evolution of applied general equilibrium.
