"Chapter 12: An Energy Data Base for GTAP"
by Chepeliev, Maksym


Abstract
For energy, as with agriculture, we prepare a special data set not just to supplement data from sector-generic sources (as we use the agricultural data set to disaggregate I-O tables) but to override them.2 This special treatment arises from users’ concern about apparent divergences of energy data in earlier GTAP releases from International Energy Agency (IEA) data (see, e.g., Babiker and Rutherford 1997). To address these concerns, we prepare an energy data set from IEA and other energy-oriented data, covering energy flows, prices, and taxes, and use it to modify the I-O, protection, and trade data.
Also special to energy is the inclusion in the GTAP data set not only of money value data but also of volume data. Supplementing the core money value flows, we provide a separate file of I-O and international trade flows measured in millions of tons of oil equivalent (MTOE).
In this chapter, we describe the preparation of the GTAP energy data set (EDS). In the course of constructing the trade component of that data set, we modify the GTAP trade data set. In the energy data set, we include tax data, that later procedures use instead of the main protection data set in handling energy sectors. We also include targets for money values of energy flows, used by later procedures to modify the I-O data.
