Data for sensitivity analysis of Hübler, M., M. Wiese, M. Braun and J. Damster (2023): The distributional effects of CO2 pricing at home and at the border on German income groups

This dataset contains the output files used in the sensitivity analysis of the computable general equilibrium (CGE) model developed in Hübler et al. (2023). Each folder is labeled with the respective set of sector-level elasticity of substitution parameters considered in the analysis: elasticities between domestically produced versus imported goods (esubd), Armington elasticities (esubm) and elasticities between production factors (esubva).

For each set of parameters, we generate 1000 random draws from a +-10 % interval around each of the sector-specific elasticities, resulting in 1000 sets of sectoral parameter values. Each .xlsx output file located in a dedicated subfolder corresponds to a model run with a specific set of parameter values. In addition, we conduct sensitivity analyses of two individual parameters, namely the CO2 target (CO2factor) considered in our policy scenarios and the elasticity of substitution in consumption (esub_cons).

The sensitivity analysis is carried out using the Snakeflow workflow management system, and R code for generating parameter spaces and processing the output files is available on GitHub.
