The MAGNET model ([[van Meijl, 2006]]) is based on the standard GTAP model ([[Hertel, 1997]]), which is a multi-regional, static, applied computable general equilibrium ([[hasAcronym::CGE]]) model based on neoclassical microeconomic theory. MAGNET is a further development of GTAP regarding land use, private consumption, livestock, food, feed and energy crop production, and emission reduction cost curves. See [[Media:IMAGE-MAGNET coupling.png|coupling scheme]]. | The MAGNET model ([[van Meijl, 2006]]) is based on the standard GTAP model ([[Hertel, 1997]]), which is a multi-regional, static, applied computable general equilibrium ([[hasAcronym::CGE]]) model based on neoclassical microeconomic theory.

Recently, the MAGNET model, together with information from IMAGE has been applied to derive cost curves for emission reduction from deforestation and forest degradation ([[hasAcronym::REDD]]), by excluding, in a series of experiments, carbon rich areas from agricultural expansion, and using resulting changes in GDP to estimate cost of emission reduction per ton carbon (Overmars et al. forthcoming). | Recently, the MAGNET model, together with information from IMAGE has been applied to derive cost curves for emission reduction from deforestation and forest degradation ([[hasAcronym::REDD]]), by excluding, in a series of experiments, carbon rich areas from agricultural expansion, and using resulting changes in GDP to estimate cost of emission reduction per ton carbon (Overmars et al. forthcoming). | ||
