- A licensed version of GAMS. Maybe I'll make a python version in the future.
- Python 3.7+ and Anaconda
- Clone the repository. If you think you will want to make changes, it's best to fork it first, then clone your fork.
- Navigate to your local working copy, create an environment and install dependencies:
conda env create -f environment.yml
- Activate environment
conda activate loaded-dice
- Run the scripts in numerical order from the
scriptsdirectory
python scripts/<script_name.py>
The dice2016 and dice2023 folders contain supplementary GAMS code from the online appendix of Barrage & Nordhaus (2023). The original source of this material is here. In order to present results from these simulations with DICE2016 and DICE2023 for full reproducibility, the GAMS code and the output CSV results have been included in this repository. No clear licence was provided for these files. The attribution for this source code should go to Barrage & Nordhaus.
