Abstract

It's a pleasure to have the opportunity to comment on Alan's work on computational modeling and trade policy analysis. Alan came to this field from highbrow economic theory, where he made particularly important contributions on esoteric theoretical issues such as cones of diversification. From this background, he and his collaborators made major practical contributions to helping build support for some of the most important and far-reaching agreements — including the Tokyo Round of the GATT; the Uruguay Round of the GATT/WTO, and the North American Free Trade Agreement. Alan's applied studies took into account many of the mind numbing details of these agreements, and incorporated new developments — such as services — where the data were poor and even the theoretical basis for analysis needed to be developed from scratch. This contribution by a leading theorist to influential analyses of applied policies is very unusual, and deserves high praise.
