The statement about the difference between ACE and CGE models is misleading. Although some people claim this difference, technically, there is none. The macro balancing conditions mentioned in the article are usually found in a social accounting matrix (SAM). ACE and CGE models interpret the SAM as the equilibrium solution to an Arrow-Debreu Economy which is then to be designed and calibrated during the modeling process. If one compares current textbooks about CGE and ACE models, they describe exactly the same procedures.
