Generate country-level data for each socioeconomic realization and downscaling proxy

Description

Takes in file paths to country-level data that is used to construct downscaling proxy datasets for any number of country-level socioeconomic realizations, in all time periods. Input socioeconomic data must include all future analysis years; these data are used to expand but other proxy data from a given base year to all iTEM analysis years. Returns a list of downscaling proxy dataframes.

Usage

generate_ds_proxy_data(
  pop_data_fn = "downscale/SSP_Population.csv",
  gdp_data_fn = "downscale/SSP_GDP_PPP.csv",
  transportenergy_data_t0_fn = "downscale/IEA_trn_ctry.csv",
  use_modal_detail = TRUE,
  apply_modal_elasticities = TRUE,
  save_output = TRUE,
  create_dir = TRUE,
  output_dir = DS_OUTPUT_DIR,
  ...
)

Arguments

pop_data_fn	file name of data with population by scenario, country, year (including future iTEM years)
gdp_data_fn	file name of data with GDP by scenario, country, year (including future iTEM years)
transportenergy_data_t0_fn	file name of data with transportation energy consumption data by country, for a base year. May include mode-level detail.
use_modal_detail	logical indicating whether to determine mode-specific proxy values. If false, a single proxy will be calculated for the whole transportation sector.
apply_modal_elasticities	logical indicating whether to differentiate income elasticities by mode. If true, exogenous assumptions are used. If false, all modes are assigned an income elasticity of 1.
save_output	indicate whether to save the output of this function
create_dir	indicate whether to create a new directory if the specified one does not already exist
output_dir	file path where output of this function is saved

Details

The downscaling proxy data generated by this function are assumed to apply to all models; i.e., elasticities linking future GDP growth to future changes in the base-year proxy data do not differ by model.
