tradeKastner

Implements Kastner et al. 2011 (DOI: 10.1016/j.ecolecon.2011.01.012) on the MAgPIE bilateral trade matrix. Adjusts the trade matrix based on a assumption of proportionality such that intermediate trade partners (importing to re-export) are removed from the matrix.

Usage

tradeKastner(gdx, trade, level = "reg", products = "kall", attributes = "dm")

Arguments

gdx

GDX file to read from (for production data)

trade

Bilateral trade data (ov21_trade or other)

level

Level of regional aggregation ("reg", "glo", "regglo", or custom mapping)

products

Selection of products (e.g. "kall", "kcr", "kli")

attributes

dry matter: Mt ("dm"), gross energy: PJ ("ge"), reactive nitrogen: Mt ("nr"), phosphor: Mt ("p"), potash: Mt ("k"), wet matter: Mt ("wm")

Value

MAgPIE object with bilateral trade adjusted using Kastner method. Dimensions: (importer_exporter, year, product) Values represent apparent consumption of bilateral trade (production + imports - exports)
