A Multi-Actor Dynamic Integrated Assessment Model System (MADIAMS)

MADIAMS is an actor-based system-dynamic model hierarchy to assess the impacts of climate mitigation policies. The evolution of the economy is governed by the interactions of a few key aggregated actors (a firm, household, government, bank etc.) pursuing individual, often conflicting, goals. The economy is treated as a nonlinear system described by a set of system dynamic equations closed by the specification of the actors’ control strategies. An important feature of MADIAMS is the explicit treatment of non-equilibrium processes.

MADIAMS is developed by Klaus Hasselmann (Max Planck Institute for Meteorology/ Global Climate Forum) and Dmitry V. Kovalevsky (Nansen International Environmental and Remote Sensing Centre/ St. Petersburg State University/ Global Climate Forum).
