Release Notes

0.7.0

  • Unzipped gtapv7-aez-rd_26Mar24.zip to <user_dir>/Files/base_data/gtappy/cge_releases/gtapv7_aez_rd
  • Considering changing hyphens to underscores in the file names
    • REJECTED to follow the gtap model naming convention, so we are staying with gtapv7-aez-rd but everything else is underscore
  • REQUIRES manually adding a new dir “out” in the “gtapv7_aez_rd” dir
  • The first run did not find results.map, so I copied this manually from the last release into /mod dir
  • Added a _just_mapping.bat file to run the mapping only but this required configuring the directory to not include cd ..
  • There are now two time-modes for running:
    • RD and Singleshot

    • One can’t simply run the singleshot because then it will get the 2049-2050 percentage change for GDP POP etc.

    • So, we prepared an additional set of projections that are not recursive. These are prepended with D.

      set DGDPPC=DGP2
      set DPOP=DPO2
      set DLAB=DLB2
      
      set GDPPC=OGP2
      set POP=POP2
      set LAB=LAB2
    • To switch from the default RD mode to SS, just replace GDPPC with DGDPPC, POP with DPOP, and LAB with DLAB in the .bat file

    • NOTE: GDP is exogenous in BAU to match projections, but then we swap it in any policy shock to endogenously determine GDP.

Added method to modify a specific variable for a specific country

  • CMF files cannot change any values at run time, so instead we are going to create a new harfile with the new values
    • To do this in ViewHAR with the example of MAXL, right click on MAXL and select “Clone”.
      • It’s hard to edit in viewhar, so copy to clipboard, then excel, then edit the values, then paste back in for the modified har.
      • In the CMF file, then call
