Small adjustments to economic variables #77

Closed hettieboonman closed 4 years ago

hettieboonman commented 4 years ago

Dear all,

@erikfilias and @danielhuppmann , first of all sorry. I know it took some time before the last issues/ pull requests had been approved. Today I converted my model output in the format of the platform, and I found that there were some inconsistencies.

Below I summarize the (small) changes that are required:

Unit conversions (see also other issue). Replace billion US dollar by Million Euro

Consumption: description: Total consumption of all goods, by all consumers in a region unit: million euro/yr   Consumption|Households: description: Total consumption of all goods, by households in a region unit: million euro/yr   Consumption|Government: description: Total consumption of all goods, by the government in a region unit: million euro/yr   Consumption|Industry: description: Total consumption of all goods, by industries in a region unit: million euro/yr

GDP|MER: description: GDP at market exchange rate unit: million euro/yr

A little mistake/ inconsistency in variable name (replace "Government" by "Households" in the variable name)

Consumption|Households||Domestic: description: Consumption of domestic by households unit: million euro/yr

I made a mistake in the price index of capital and region. They are not defined per industry, only by region

Capital Price Index: description: Price index of capital from , relative to base year 2011 note: The index equals 1 in 2011, the reference year unit: ''   Labor Price Index: description: Price index of wages from , relative to base year 2011 note: The index equals 1 in 2011, the reference year unit: ''

Greets, Hettie

Hi @hettieboonman, I've just created a PR (see #81 ). The replacement of billion US dollars by Million Euro is waiting that will be defined in order of agreements reached in #76. Please check it.

@erikfilias Thank you for your quick response. See also my comment to the other 'issue', I think that the preference for most modelers is to use million euro rather than billion dollar. Also because this consortium has mostly (only?) European energy models. Also, regions that are defined, are only European regions.
