TCH-GEM-E3: The Role of Innovation and Policy Design in Energy and Environment for a Sustainable in Europe

TCH-GEM-E3 had three main objectives:
  1. Maintenance and update of the GEM-E3 model, which was developed in previous EU programmes, and extension of its geographic coverage (Eastern Europe and full integration of Switzerland).
  2. Extension of the GEM-E3 model to improve its realism (endogenous technological progress, imperfect competition, integration bottom-up and top-down modelling for the electricity sector).
  3. Study Energy/Environment policies and their effect on sustainable growth, such as Kyoto and R&D policies.
The purpose of PSI's participation in the TCH-GEM-E3 project was to integrate the database of GEM-E3 Switzerland within the database of the European version of GEM-E3, and then to perform policy analyses for Switzerland with the new version of GEM-E3. Both tasks have been successfully completed.
