SEI_Lib 0.5 Capital_Stock_Model

The Social and Economic Impact Module (SEIM) constitutes one of the three main components of the Global Earthquake Model (GEM) together with the Seismic Hazard and Seismic Risk components. As an input to the Macro Economy Segment Calculator, the Population Cohort Model will analyze demographic, labor force and human capital dynamics in the analyzed system at the country, or sub national level. It is intended to provide the essential information of population structure, distribution, and status/skills of the economy active population, which will provide basis for the analysis of growth potential and output.

• Assumptions

  • The regional data is in two different resolutions.
  • The Population Cohort Model will use as inputs the information from Seismic Risk & Hazard.
  • The Population Cohort Model will have the capacity to use inputs from other Risks and Hazards.
  • There exists a set of equations from which we can calculate time flow of population given a matrix of population seed.
  • The Population Cohort Model output is intended to be used as an input to the Macro Economy Segment Calculator.

• Design

The design of the component or model is described in detail here. Use complete sentences and paragraph breaks. Don't describe implementation details here.

• User stories:

  • Some user should be able to X.
  • Some user needs to be able to Y.

• Suggested Implementation

The model should integrate into OpenQuake as a set of models similar to the existing Hazard & Risk models. It should be possible to run as a sub-task in an existing openquake / RiskLib job.
