This paper reports on an implementation of Mathiesen's sequential method for solving applied general equilibrium models. In this approach, the underlying nonlinear complementarity problem is solved by successive linearization. The paper discusses model formulation, implementation and...

In recent years many advances have been made in solution techniques for specially structured 0-1 integer programming problems. In contrast, very little progress has been made on solving general (mixed integer) problems. This, of course, is not true when viewed from the theoretical side: Lenstra...

Numerical modeling in the Arrow-Debreu framework has emerged as a consistent approach for economic analysis. A major disadvantage of the applied general equilibrium (AGE) framework has been the high degree of technical expertise required for formulating and solving these models. This paper...
