ETSAP-UCC Workshop '14

Methodologies linking energy systems models and economic models The Energy Policy and Modelling Group hosted an IEA-ETSAP funded international workshop on methodologies linking energy systems and economic models. The purpose of this workshop is to exchange experiences (methodologies and applications) on integrating energy systems models (with a particular focus on MARKAL and TIMES models) with economic models (with a particular focus on input-output and CGE models). The objective is to improve methodologies for providing *feedback* from energy systems model results to the economic drivers and for determining the *economic impacts* of different energy scenarios. The workshop took place the 4-5 February 2014. The agenda and delivered presentations are available for download below.
