Description of model

ENTICE-BR is a dynamic growth model of the global economy that includes links between economic activity, carbon emissions, and the climate.

The model includes endogenous links between climate policy and energy innovation, making it an appropriate tool for modelling both technological options and economic impacts. 

ENTICE-BR is mainly used for:

1. analysing the impacts of R&D spending in the energy sector (in particular climate-friendly); 

2. studying the effects of various climate stabilization policies.

Particular relevance

ENTICE-BR is highly relevant to assessing methods for improving energy efficiency and the development and diffusion of new  technologies.  The model can also be used for assessing the economic effects of such policy.
