What
E3ME is a dynamic, computer-based, global macroeconomic model which represents the three pillars of
sustainability: economy, society and environment. E3ME’s detailed sectoral disaggregation is important for assessing interactions between the pillars. The model is highly empirical in its approach.
This website describes the core features of the E3ME model. Several specific national models (including some with sub-national disaggregation) have been developed from E3ME and share the same underlying properties. Each of these models is described below and is allocated its own page (see links above).
E3ME
E3ME is our global model and our main tool for macroeconomic analysis. It is now used throughout the world, especially for the assessment of climate and energy policy. International trade is an important part of the analysis.
It is designed to assess both national and global policy challenges and give increased certainty to decision makers.

e3-India
e3-India is a dynamic macro-econometric simulation model, developed as a tool for state-level analysis in India. It covers 28 states and 4 union territories of India.
The model enables policymakers and stakeholders to assess various policy impacts at a significantly higher geographical resolution than has previously been possible in India.
For more information, please contact Alistair Smith.
e3-US
e3-US is an innovative tool that allows policy makers to assess policy impacts at the state level, reflecting the diversity of economic conditions across the US.
Key economic and social outputs from the model include GDP, employment and unemployment. The model results also include energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.
For more information, please contact Jon Stenning.
e3-Brazil
e3-Brazil was originally designed to assess the economic and labour market impacts of Environmental Tax Reform in Brazil.
It can also be used to assess a range of economic and environmental measures including fiscal policy, energy efficiency and renewable electricity generation.
Standard outputs from the model include employment, GDP, prices and trade.
For more information, please contact Eva Alexandri.
e3-Thailand
The e3-Thailand model was constructed to quantitatively assess the impacts of different carbon pricing policies.
It is also suitable for analysing other energy, climate, economy and labour market policies. It is designed to assess policy in a highly empirical structure.

FTT
A cutting-edge model of technology diffusion that is applied to a range of different energy sectors. FTT is based on innovation theory and evolutionary dynamics.
Currently there are FTT models for the power sector, passenger vehicles, the steel sector and household heading. Each one is linked to the E3ME model with two-way linkages between the technology dynamics and wider economy.
