Abstract

In this paper we survey and appraise the main contributions to solving and stabilising non‐linear equation systems typically found in Economics. We are keen wherever possible to draw distinctions and limiting cases between different solution methods, define acceleration strategies and encourage the use of hybrid or switching algorithms. Both large‐scale traditional macroeconomic models as well as smaller non‐linear analytical models are considered.
