    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.

    Non-CO2 forcing agents are not explicitly tracked in the model. They are represented in the climate module by an exogenously given 'additional forcing factor'.
