Behavioral changes is captured in 2 ways in POLES:

1. a change of the economic activity (applies to Residential and Transport): this change depends on income and energy prices through appropriate elasiticies;
2. a change in the rate of use of energy consuming equipments: this change depend on energy prices through short-term elasticities.
