ANARRES_CC
ANARRES_CC is a (simplified) variant of the ANARRES global CGE model designed for policy analysis in Comparative Static and Recursive Dynamic modes within a single model. It was produced for a project for the UNFCCC, although its use for that project is not endorsed, and has been superceded by developments since early 2023.
The full GAMS codes and data used for the ANARRES_CC study will be made available shortly.
It encompasses features previously captured in model variants, e.g., energy and emissions, climate change, etc., but it is not as general as the full ANARRES model. The code for the model is modular. The model is broadly consistent with the price systems in the SNA and SEEA. It is calibrated using augmented versions of GTAP’s transactions database and other satellite accounts from GTAP, e.g., GTAP-Power, Air Pollution, Non-CO2 emissions.
The model includes the following novel features: generalised nesting of CES functions for imports and CET functions for exports; generalised nesting for production and utility functions; flexible macroeconomic closure and (factor) market clearing conditions; flexible exchange rates; Value Added taxes; energy use and emissions taxes; air pollution and emissions tracking; production functions for multiple types of capital; etc.
At the heart of the recursive dynamic modules is a system of perpetual inventories that track the evolution in the quantities and qualities of factors of production. The inventories for physical capital goods allow for tracking ‘vintages’ of capital goods. The inventories for labour are exogenously determined.
The technical documentation reflects, as accurately as can be, the state of the model on the date on the front page of the technical document; it is always out of date.
