GCAM is a dynamic recursive model, meaning that decision-makers do not know the future when making a decision today. After it solves each period, the model then uses the resulting state of the world, including the consequences of decisions made in that period - such as resource depletion, capital stock retirements and installations, and changes to the landscape - and then moves to the next time step and performs the same exercise. For long-lived investments, decision-makers may account for future profit streams, but those estimates would be based on current prices. For some parts of the model, economic agents use prior experience to form expectations based on multi-period experiences.

GCAM-CEEW is a global integrated assessment model that explores the interactions among economy, energy, water, land, and climate systems in a single computational platform. It is a modified version of GCAM v5.2.The GCAM CEEW version disaggregates the residential sector into rural and urban to better represent the Indian scenario. It further separates electricity for commercial and residential use. Data on costs of technologies, fuel prices, and energy data have been taken from Indian government databases as well as India-specific relevant surveys done by various organisations. Energy-related data is taken from IEA as well as India-specific sources.
