Abstract

Elaborating on seminal endeavours to calibrate baselines of global models by the GTAP community, the World Bank, the OECD and IIASA, we combine a fully-fledged macro-econometric growth model (MaGE) with a Computable General Equilibrium Model (MIRAGE) and contribute a quantitative evaluation of the Shared Socioeconomic Pathways popularized by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Doing so, we rely on a cross-cutting approach which mixes a theoretically founded macroeconomic framework with a dynamic global and multi-sectoral modelling framework, maximizing consistency between them, while relying on experts appraisal to tackle uncertainty around the baseline design.
