Introduction

An agent-based model to investigate how differing climate policies amongst countries influence firm-level microeconomic behaviour.

Usage

Colab (recommended)

Run all code directly from our Google Colab notebook. The multi-run experiments and sensitivity analysis need access to your Google Drive in order to store intermediate results.

Local Installation

1. Requirements (will be installed in the notebook)

• Python 3.6+
• AgentPy
• ipywidgets
• tqdm
• SAlib
• matplotlib==3.1.3

2. Follow instruction in the first cell to set up necessary configurations.

Precomputed Data

If you do not want to re-run the experiments, we provide the precomputed multi-run and sensitivity analysis files here. Unzip the folder and place its subfolders at the project root defined in the topmost cell.

├── MultiRegionPolicy

Furthermore, set the variable USE_PRECOMP_DATA = True in the first cell of the notebook.
