Technological change is represented in a variety of ways in Imaclim-R:
- There is cost-reducing learning-by-doing factor for technologies that are explicitly represented, i.e. power generation technologies (see [/x/45UMAg section on electricity]) ) and private vehicles (see [/x/55UMAg section on transport]).
- For sectors where explicit portfolios of technologies are not represented, the model nonetheless covers (price induced) endogenous energy efficiency improvements and substitutions with other sectors (see [/x/6ZUMAg section on productive sectors])
- Moreover, the model includes inertias and path-dependencies, via capacity stocks (capital generations), as well as constraints on the maximal speed of technology deployment.
- The current version of the model uses exogenous trends in labor productivity to model exogenous technical change of labor (see [/x/25UMAg section on economic growth]).
