CGE-果冻影院 is a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model that is currently in development at the 果冻影院 Energy Institute and the Institute for Sustainable Resources, with the intention of incorporating natural resource and environmental issues into an economic model in a meaningful manner.
The modelling technique is based upon the concept of Walrasian equilibrium in microeconomic theory and uses national accounts data and a system of non-linear equations to solve for a baseline equilibrium against which policy shocks can be implemented. The model will have flexible representations of labour supply, agent foresight, and be extended to include an environmental component as well as soft linking of the energy sector with technology-rich bottom-up models such as those based on the TIMES generator (UK TIMES, ETM-果冻影院 and TIAM-果冻影院). Global, EU and UK variations will be developed in the near future.
