Today's to do list

  1. hahah

Time flies

  • Three weeks left this month

  • 19th conference presentation

  • Finish a draft of Ag market integration paper

  • Focus on yourself

  • Adhere to your plan

Ag market integration

  • Future global or regional economic and environmental consequences are highly sensitive to scenarios of ag globalization

  • Q: Historically, how ag market integrated? How trade pattern and volume changed?

  • Q: Per economic modeling, SSPs specified narratives by the magnitude of global market integration. However, models may have different implementation and future trade assumptions.

    • Across marker models, how future trade scenarios were incorporated for SSPs? What is the difference theoretically?

    • Role of PTA, Non-tariff barrier (NTB), and others

    • In economic literature, are there established dynamic scenarios of future market integration?

  • Q: How sensitive is future projections to future market integration.

A bit heavy task day

  1. Figure out a way to change share-weight and logit exponent for trade parameters as xml add-on

    • Figure out SSP4 treatment

    • It turned out that the value that share-weight converges to does not matter, since the relative share-weight will converge at a constant rate over time.

    • The target year/periods set would matter or say the speed of convergence.

    • That is, we can assume that relative share-weight is converging to 1, e.g., reaching 1 in the same target year. Different target year would determine the relative converging speed.

    • Logit exponents should also increase over time...

  2. Summarize literature of SSP marker models in their future trade adjustments

    • Either tariffs or other sorts of adjustments

    • And also trade structure

  3. CET and Logit are different in some way

    • The could derive the same sharing formula

    • Figures

  4. OTAQ trade paper responses

  5. GTAP conference slides

Happy wife, happy life!

People are so concentrated, evolved, immersed, attentive in the life they imagined. Don't be drown!

  • AAEA submission

    • 2 posters & 1 paper

    • Clearance

    • Poster sent to Farzad

6/29/2020

  • GCAM runs

    • Test generating xml with both logit exponent and share weight

      • Pull logit share-weight of trade from the core run or calibrate share-weight based on data?

        • No! calibrate based on cost and quantity data...

      • sw_international_sector_region: 16 sectors * 32 regions

      • sw_regional_importing region_sector_(dom & imp): 32 imp reg * 16 sectors * 2

    • Process 2015 share-weight in R

      • Conversion between sw_GCAM and sw_theory

      • Interpolation

  • nc paper

    • rewriting

    • Storage discussion
