IMACLIM Country platform - GaelleLeTreut/IMACLIM-Country GitHub Wiki

At CIRED, the single-region version initiated with work on France. Over the years, national versions were developed for the emerging economies of Brazil and South Africa. More recently, a series of initiatives in partnership with foreign research centres have launched the development of versions on India, Saudi Arabia, China, and Argentina. The core of each of these country-scale models is similar. Behavioural and accounting equations are comparable although they embody certain particularities specific to each country’s economy, to the study that motivated the development of the model (focus on competitiveness, equity, labour market issues, etc.) and to the temporal horizon at which projections are conducted.The single-region version initiated with work on France.

As the core of each country model is similar, a rationalized tool provides a common architecture to all the country versions: the IMACLIM-Country platform. Country versions mainly differ by the economic and physical accounts data that are fed to the platform, but can also consider alternative behavioural specifications and macroeconomic closure options. The modularity of the platform allows operating (i.e. hybridising data, calibrating and solving) at various levels of disaggregation of economic sectors and household groups, up to limits defined by each country’s original dataset.
