Transport
The transport sector in the IAM usually includes industrial activities that provide transport services and household (i.e., own-use) car driving. The former is formulated as part of the industrial activity in AIM/CGE, and the latter is considered part of the consumption of household goods.
Residential and commercial sectors
In terms of the commercial sector, energy demand is determined as for the industrial sector. For the residential sector, there are two options. One is the use of LES functions. The parameters that determine expenditure preference are recursively updated according to the given income elasticity. The other option enables the consideration of bottom-up energy technological information and the energy demand explicitly determined by detailed energy technologies.
Industrial sector
The model has two options for determining energy demands from the industrial sector. One is the use of traditional functions such as the CES function for production sectors. The other option enables the consideration of bottom-up energy technological information and the energy demand explicitly determined by detailed energy technologies. Usually, for relatively long-term analysis (such as 2100), the CES function is used.
