Abstract
In order to analyse supply side effects of taxation on optimizing behaviour of agents a research project was started on an applied general equilibrium model (further denoted as AGE model) for The Netherlands. In contrast to empirical macroeconomic models, microeconomic theory rather than empirical analysis of time series data underlies the modelling methodology.
The authors thank F.J.H. Don, C.J.J. Eijgenraam, F.H. Huizinga and R.M. van Opstal for assistance on the household model, the cumulated production structure approach, the wage model and the model of firm behaviour respectively, and other colleagues of the Central Planning Bureau for useful comments.
