Model scope and methods

Model documentation: Model_scope_and_methods - REMIND-MAgPIE

Model type

  • Integrated assessment model

Objective

REMIND-MAgPIE is a global multi-regional model incorporating the economy, the climate system and a detailed representation of the energy sector. REMIND-MAgPIE allows for a sophisticated analysis of technology options and policy proposals for climate mitigation. It accounts for economic and energy investments in the model regions, and interregional trade in goods, energy carriers and emissions allowances.

  • General equilibrium (closed economy)
  • MAgPIE: partial equilibrium model of the agricultural sector

Solution horizon

  • Recursive dynamic (myopic)
