PEREZ MENDOZA, Arturo. Introducción al uso de modelos aplicados de equilibrio general. Econ: teor. práct [online]. 2008, n.29, pp.119-146. ISSN 2448-7481.

This work presents the methodology used to construct Applied General Equilibrium Models (MEGAs). It presents a very simple model that can be used to illustrate all the steps needed to specify, calibrate and make simulations using a MEGA designed for the evaluation of an economic policy. From the reading of this work the reader who wants to familiarize with this methodology will be able to consult and to understand with more facility the literature written on this topic.
