In POLES key macro-economic assumptions are exogenous: population and growth if GDP per capita. Information comes from external sources: population usually from the UN Population Prospects (latest: the 2012 revision), GDP information from international sources (IMF, MIT, CEPII, national and regional estimates, ..). The consistency between population and income assumptions is checked.


An on-going work will allow connecting POLES to the macro-econometric model MAGE (CEPII) through the use of an "energy factor" in the MAGE production function, allowing to use a more dynamic relation between GDP and energy.
The key marco-economic assumptions are derived from population and GDP.


The key marco-economic assumptions are then derived into sectoral economic activity variables:
Starting from historical data, which capture local specificities, sectoral economic activity variables are calculated:
* sectoral value added: depend on the level of development of the country/region, given by GDP per capita (industrialization phase followed by service-based economy);
* industrial physical production: depend on demand, which itself depends on the level of development;
* mobility (for passengers and for goods): depend on the cost of transport compared to income, and is declined in equipment rates and degree of utilisation of this equipment;
* buildings surfaces: depend on households size (occupancy per dwelling) and surface per dwelling, both depending on personal income.


* sectoral value added depend on the level of development of the country / region, given by the GDP per capita;

All variables also depend on historical data, that capture local specificities.

The key marco-economic assumptions are derived from population and GDP.

Starting from historical data, which capture local specificities, sectoral economic activity variables are calculated:

  • sectoral value added: depend on the level of development of the country/region, given by GDP per capita (industrialization phase followed by service-based economy);
  • industrial physical production: depend on demand, which itself depends on the level of development;
  • mobility (for passengers and for goods): depend on the cost of transport compared to income, and is declined in equipment rates and degree of utilisation of this equipment;
  • buildings surfaces: depend on households size (occupancy per dwelling) and surface per dwelling, both depending on personal income.
