The present paper is motivated from efforts to include non-neoclassical features in empirical CGE models in order to represent market imperfections and rigidities. We examine the policy implications of adopting other frameworks than price-induced market clearing in certain markets of a CGE model. In the course of the paper we design a general core CGE model and derive 12 alternative model variants by allowing for market imperfections in the markets of goods, labour and foreign exchange; these variants represent various research directions in the literature. We investigate the role of such rigidities in evaluating the macroeconomic impacts of the European Market Integration for a small open economy, namely Greece.
