This book presents a new computational approach to solving large-scale Auerbach-Kotlikoff Overlapping Generations (OLG) models in a complementarity format. Unlike with integrated solution methods, the proposed decomposition algorithm allows for the solution of multi-regional and multi-sectoral OLG models that exhibit a large number of heterogeneous consumers and a variety of household-specific effects. By broadening the scope of economic analysis, this new approach provides a powerful tool for applied general equilibrium modelers. In this book, the algorithm is applied to the macroeconomics of...

Yongnian Zheng explores how China’s leaders have embraced global capitalism and market-oriented modernization by encouraging individual enterprise and the reform of economic institutions. While open to importing Western ideas in rebuilding the economic system, the same leaders have been reluctant to import Western concepts of democracy and the rule of law. Zheng argues that, ultimately, this selectivity will impede China’s progress in becoming a modern nation state.Globalization has cre...
