This paper reviews different approaches to modelling the energy transition towards a zero carbon economy. It identifies number of limitations in current such as lack consideration out-of-equilibrium situations (like an transition) and non-linear feedbacks. To tackle those issues, new open source integrated assessment model pymedeas is introduced, which allows exploration design planning appropriate strategies policies for decarbonizing sector at World EU level. The main novelty open-source...
The action situation is a core component of actor-centered institutional analysis natural resource governance. Institutional frameworks have been extended to observe multiple situations structured into networks. If further operationalized, this extension can improve policy diagnosis human–environmental interactions. This paper proposes two complementary ways move in that direction. First, we propose the use qualitative configurational and game theory study interactions between assess...
Abstract Participatory modeling is a potentially high‐impact approach for catalyzing fundamental sustainability transformations. We test if participation in group system dynamics exercise increases participants' agency through novel method to evaluate potential behavioral change using expectation measures. A water‐energy‐food nexus—a functionally interdependent but underconceptualized with low consensus and high scientific uncertainty—was mapped, its evolution simulated by 46 participants...
The employment impacts of the transition to a post-carbon economy are gaining increasing attention. implies fundamental changes in followed by significant structure labour demand. Industries with highest carbon footprint utmost importance because large expected supply chain structures forced decarbonisation. power industry is crucial component since its decarbonisation can also help other sectors (such as transportation) switch cleaner energy fuels. Renewable sources promising technologies...
Agricultural electricity subsidisation has led to high demand, groundwater depletion and public financial burdens. The policy persists, although paralleled by fundamental changes in governance. How can lock-in trajectories be explained? Theories of institutional choice regulation are reviewed. Two game models built analyse narratives based on interviews secondary historical data. findings reveal path dependencies inherent the existing action situations. Resolving current equilibrium requires...
Abstract Electric irrigation contributes to food security in rural India, but deteriorating electrical infrastructures threaten the functioning of farmers’ pump sets. This problem could be solved through investments energy-efficient technologies. However, network externalities create a coordination for farmers. We develop framed field experiment study effects group size, leading by example, and payoff structures on ability coordinate technology adoption investments. The is based game that...
The relationship between network structure and dynamics is one of the most extensively investigated problems in theory complex systems recent years. Understanding this relevance to a range disciplines—from neuroscience geomorphology. A major strategy investigating quantitative comparison representation architecture (structural connectivity, SC) with (network) (functional FC). Here, we show that can distinguish two classes functional connectivity—one based on simultaneous activity...
<title>Abstract</title> Against the backdrop of rising temperatures, this paper analyzes how prolonged heat affects labor productivity and corresponding macroeconomic outcomes, using Austria as a case study. While previous research primarily focused on specific industries or used industry aggregates, study also considers inter-industrial economic connections. We assess effects an increase in stress triggered by climate change with emphasis (1) industry-specific work intensity (2)...
Interdependence takes many forms.We show how three patterns of power generate diverse models for understanding dynamics and transformations in social-ecological systems.Archetypal games trace pathways that go beyond a focus on few social dilemmas to recognize understand diversity complexity landscape situations, including families coordination defection problems.We apply the extended topology two-person two-choice (2 × 2) derive simple archetypes interdependence with overlapping...
Facing rapid urbanisation in developing countries, public utilities' electricity management is challenged by an ever-growing demand and collapsing infrastructures. Economic growth consumers' related behaviours add to the technical governance problems. We analyse ways which consumers currently deal with power shortages Hyderabad, India, finding trapped a typical social-dilemma situation individually rational behaviour produces undesirable collective outcomes. Results from logistic regression...
The share of renewable energies has to increase significantly in the ongoing energy transition. Such a shift production technology is expected have noticeable effects on sector’s input structure that required for its output. This study examines how changes country’s mix affect coefficients within an input–output framework, using Austria’s expansion act as case study. Predicting can be time-consuming and often relies trends past data. Our empirical approach based fractional econometric model...
