Model information
Model link	https://models.pbl.nl/image
Institution	PBL Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL), Netherlands, https://www.pbl.nl/en.
Solution concept	Partial equilibrium (price elastic demand)
Solution method	Simulation
Anticipation	Simulation modelling framework, without foresight. However, a simplified version of the energy/climate part of the model (called FAIR) can be run prior to running the framework to obtain data for climate policy simulations.
