Description of model
IMACLIM-S is a static general equilibrium model designed to assess the macroeconomic impacts of a price- or quantity-based carbon policy. It is therefore particularly suitable for modelling the economic impacts of changes to tax regimes and emissions trading. However, using abatement costs the model can also be used for assessing the impacts of regulatory changes or emission standards.
IMACLIM-R is a dynamic version of the model that is more focused on technological change. It is therefore also appropriate for looking at long-term technological solutions to climate change.
Particular relevance
The IMACLIM model has been used for analysing the socio-economic impacts of climate change mitigation policies, for example changes to taxes and subsidies. The model can also be useful in analysing international trade flows.
Coverage
World, 14 region split for the static version and 12 region split for the dynamic one.
Integrated Modelling of Economic-Energy-Environment Scenarios - The Impact of China and India’s Economic Growth on Energy Use and CO2 Emissions - WEM and IMACLIM-R are coupled to assess the macroeconomic feedbacks of Chinese and Indian economic growth on energy and emissions scenarios
