Purpose

A work step in the CAPRI work flow. The aim is to set up all necessary data from global over national to regional and 1x1 km grid level to generate a baseline and perform simulation runs with the CAPRI modeling system. Methodology, data gaps have to filled, inconsistencies removed and data not provided by statistics as input coefficients estimated based on statistical methods as Highest Posterior Density Esimators.

Usage

The work step comprises the following tasks:

(A) Prepare national database

The GAMS program called is COCO1. The aim is to build:

(B) Finish national database

The GAMS program called is COCO2. That step especially adds data on consumer prices and by-products used for feed to the time series generated by COCO1.

(C) Build regional database, time series

The GAMS program is called CAPREG. A run comprises data for one Member State only. It takes the results from "Finish national database" as input, and adds:

(D) Build regional database

Currently same as above.

(E) Build global database

Processing of market balances for countries not covered by the supply part, and of trade flows.

(F) Build HSMU database

Note

Generation of results only allowed for administrators. A CAPRI installation will download the latest versions of the data base sets from the versioning server, so that it is not necessary for less experienced users to generate their own data base.
