Socio-economic drivers - EPPA

The dynamics of the model are determined by both exogenous and endogenous factors. Exogenous factors include projections for labor endowment growth, factor-augmented productivity growth, energy productivity growth, and natural resource assets. For each region, we assume that the labor endowment increases proportionally to population growth. We then have the option to specify differential productivity growth for labor, capital and land. Since expectations of future economic growth are often in terms of GDP rather than underlying factors such as labor, land, capital, energy productivity, or resource availabilities, we have included a model feature that automatically calibrates an additional Hick’s neutral adjustment on top of any biased growth to match a pre-specified GDP growth rate.
