Empirical support for global integrated assessment modeling: Productivity trends and technological change in developing countries' agriculture and electric power sectors
Sathaye, Jayant A. - 2009
Integrated assessment (IA) modeling of climate policy is increasingly global in nature, with models incorporating regional disaggregation. The existing empirical basis for IA modeling, however, largely arises from research on industrialized economies. Given the growing importance of developing...

Global Climate Change and the Transportation Sector: An Update on Issues and Mitigation Options
Geffen, CA; Dooley, JJ; Kim, SH - 2008
It is clear from numerous energy/economic modeling exercises that addressing the challenges posed by global climate change will eventually require the active participation of all industrial sectors and all consumers on the planet. Yet, these and similar modeling exercises indicate that large...

Simulation-based optimization of an agent-based simulation
Deckert, Andreas; Klein, Robert - In: Netnomics 15 (2014) 1, pp. 33-56
Optimization of an agent-based simulation (ABS) bears specific challenges. It is demonstrated in this paper that … mainstream simulation-based optimization (SBO) approaches often do not perform well in such a setting, sometimes hardly … neglected so far, but should structurally also be universally applicable for other simulation-based optimization problems as …
