This paper by Xiao-guang Zhang was released on 14 April 2015. It uses an Australian Household Expenditure Survey (HES) dataset as an example to describe a simple procedure to integrate an entire sample of households into a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model.

As a proof-of-concept paper, the main focus is on the simple structure of the CGE model and database that facilitate the integration of household survey data.

The paper was presented at the 18th Annual Conference on Global Economic Analysis in Melbourne on 17-19 June 2015.
