Anticipation

IMACLIM-IND operates in a comparative-static framework as a system of simultaneous non-linear equations:

With  a set of  variables,  a set of  parameters and  a set of  functions, for some of them linear, for some of them non-linear. The values of some variables at calibration year constitute a specific subset of parameters, which we systematically note as the variables with a  index. The  functions embody constraints of either an accounting nature or a behavioral nature. The accounting constraints impose themselves on the modeler for the sake of consistency. The behavioral constraints, quite distinctively, convey the modeler’s views on economic causalities and correlations.
