* There is cost-reducing learning-by-doing factor for technologies that are explicitly represented, i.e. power generation technologies (see [https://wiki.ucl.ac.uk/x/45UMAg section on electricity]) ) and private vehicles (see [https://wiki.ucl.ac.uk/x/55UMAg section on transport]).

* Moreover, the model includes inertias and path-dependencies, via capacity stocks (capital generations), as well as constraints on the maximal speed of technology deployment.

Solution concept General equilibrium (closed economy)
Solution method SimulationImaclim-R is implemented in Scilab, and uses the fonction fsolve from a shared C++ library to solve the static equilibrium system of non-linear equations.
Anticipation Recursive dynamics: each year the equilibrium is solved (system of non-linear equations), in between two years parameters to the equilibrium evolve according to specified functions.

Technological change is represented in a variety of ways in Imaclim-R:

  • There is cost-reducing learning-by-doing factor for technologies that are explicitly represented, i.e. power generation technologies (see [/x/45UMAg section on electricity]) ) and private vehicles (see [/x/55UMAg section on transport]).
  • For sectors where explicit portfolios of technologies are not represented, the model nonetheless covers (price induced) endogenous energy efficiency improvements and substitutions with other sectors (see [/x/6ZUMAg section on productive sectors])
  • Moreover, the model includes inertias and path-dependencies, via capacity stocks (capital generations), as well as constraints on the maximal speed of technology deployment.
  • The current version of the model uses exogenous trends in labor productivity to model exogenous technical change of labor (see [/x/25UMAg section on economic growth]).
