Hence, for such forecasting purposes, hybrid models (such as IO-based LCI or MARKAL-MACRO models) may be more suitable as they allow a higher disaggregation level in terms of technologies and/or food products.
The direct implication derived from this work is that in order to use CGE models to assess the amount and distribution of mitigation costs and to inform the international community involved in discussing the feasibility of climate policies, the use of empirically estimated behavioural parameters at the highest possible disaggregation level is highly recommended.
The disaggregation level should be sufficient to provide data by zone, time, age, purpose, mode, etc.
Such a model allows the handling of data with a very high disaggregation, while at the same time taking advantage of its spatial and temporal structure.
The disaggregation levels vary significantly amongst the seven models.
Of these, Hsp104R495M was the least compromised, with ∼30% of wild-type activity, but Hsp104R334M, Hsp104R419M, Hsp104R444M and Hsp104R765M reached only 5%10%% of wild-type disaggregation levels.
The adaptive estimating of main factors effects (primary power consumptions) and two-way interactions during the disaggregation process provided higher disaggregation accuracy results, in general, than those with fixed factors and two-way interactions values.
3-digit occupational codes correspond to a high level of disaggregation and constitute the finest description of occupations available for a long representative panel of US workers.
The second analysis covers the period 1966-2006 and it is instead based on a huge data collection effort on detailed export taxes and import tariffs, at a high level of disaggregation (8 digits).
Although the high level of disaggregation in the field of study (1375) may reduce its possibility, some fields of study could be offered in multiple degrees (trades, college, bachelor, and graduate degrees, for example).
