Production system and representation of economic sectors - EPPA

From IAMC-Documentation
Jump to: navigation, search

The basic production setting of EPPA is based on the Constant Elasticity of Substitution (CES) function. To account for the empirical observation that income elasticities for the demand of commodities such as food tend to decrease when an economy grows, the Stone-Geary adjustment is applied by recalibrating the subsistence consumption over time to approximate the empirical income elasticity evidence[1].
