The ICES – Intertemporal Computable Equilibrium System (https://www.icesmodel.org/) model is one of the main modelling tools developed within the FEEM Research Programme “Sustainable Development” and designed to assist in the study of the socio-economic dimension of climate change.
ICES is a recursive dynamic general equilibrium model developed with the main (but not exclusive) purpose to assess the final welfare implication of climate change impacts on world economies.
In addition to climate-change impact assessment, the model can be used to study mitigation and adaptation policies as well as different trade and public-policy reforms in the vein of conventional CGE.
