Computer Analysis of the Sensitivity of the Integrated Assessment Model MERGE-5I (original) (raw)

Abstract

This paper reports on an application of a large-scale non-linear optimization model to the analysis of environmental problems. The authors present first results of the initial stage of the study, a sensitivity analysis of the model’s input parameters. This analysis is part of the more comprehensive study Analysis of Economic Implications of Russia’s Participation in the Kyoto Protocol, undertaken by a collaborative group of researchers from IIASA and Russian research institutes.

The work was supported in part by the International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria. For the first author the work was also supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (Project 06-01-00359) and by the Program on Basic Research of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Changes of Natural Terrestrial Objects in Russian Zones of Intense Technogenic Influence (Project 3 10002-251/Π-13/196-018/300503-340).
