Presentation of the updated GINFORS model
During the FP7 e-frame project workshop on the "Wealth of Nations in a Globalising World" the GWS mbH FP7 research team members Gerd Ahlert and Martin Distelkamp presented recent advancements of updating the dynamic simulation model GINFORS. A special focus was given to the macroeconomic modelling nexus. See this link for further information.
Besides that the just published GWS Discussion Paper 2013/5 provides a general introduction to the GINFORS framework and outlines the entire data coverage of this global economy-energy-environment (3E) model. Furthermore it focuses around the modelling of the sequence of accounts and balancing items, one of the core data sets within the System of National Accounts (SNA). According to our view, SNA consistent modelling represents a crucial feature in integrated macroeconomic policy assessments.
