Cities are usually confronted with a large variety of economic development choices. With growing
environmental concern as well as rising income and wealth inequalities, assessment of the impacts of
such choices is likely to gain in importance. Consequently, the demand for adequate assessment
tools will grow. Computable general equilibrium (CGE) models analyze issues of resource allocation
and income distribution in market economies. They have become a widely accepted tool for policy
assessment over the past two decades but are currently still primarily a field for specialists. This is
particularly distinctive in the case of urban CGE models, which are the focus of this paper. (author's abstract) / Series: SRE - Discussion Papers
