Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Modeling

If you are interested in Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) modeling, then I suggest the following texts:
"Textbook of Computable General Equilibrium Modeling: Programming and Simulations" by Nobuhiro Hoseo, Kenji Gasawa and Hideo Hashimoto (Aug. 3, 2010). 

"Introduction to Computable General Equilibrium Models" by Mary Burfisher (February, 2011)

Also, I suggest using GAMS software for CGE modeling. You can download a free "mini" version of GAMS.
