Model uncertainties

Models are by definition affected by uncertainties (in input data, input parameters, scenario definitions, etc.). Have the model uncertainties been quantified? Are uncertainties accounted for in your simulations?

yes
There is no systematic way to account for uncertainties but it can be done upon request

    Sensitivity analysis

    Sensitivity analysis helps identifying the uncertain inputs mostly responsible for the uncertainty in the model responses. Has the model undergone sensitivity analysis?

    yes
    Sensitivity analysis is used in a non-systematic way on parameters and input data when using FIDELIO for analysis purposes.

      Have model results been published in peer-reviewed articles?

      no
      The FIDELIO model has not been reviewed yet but it is open to be reviewed.

        Has the model formally undergone scientific review by a panel of international experts?

        Please note that this does not refer to the cases when model results were validated by stakeholders.

        not provided

          Model validation

          Has model validation been done? Have model predictions been confronted with observed data (ex-post)?

          not applicable
          The model analyses deviations from baseline due to external shocks (policy or other).

            Transparency

            To what extent do input data come from publicly available sources?

            This may include sources accessible upon subscription and/or payment

            not provided

            Is the full model database as such available to external users?

            Whether or not it implies a specific procedure or a fee

            yes
            The data sources are almost all publicly available in Eurostat, OECD, WIOD website, ILO, UNSD, etc. The model uses official statistics as much as possible.

              Have model results been presented in publicly available reports?

              Note this excludes IA reports.

              not provided

              Have output datasets been made publicly available?

              Note this could also imply a specific procedure or a fee.

              yes
              The output data can be made available upon request depending on the sensitivity of the output

                Is there any user friendly interface presenting model results that is accessible to the public?

                For instance: Dashboard, interactive interfaces...

                not provided

                  Has the model been documented in a publicly available dedicated report or a manual?

                  Note this excludes IA reports.

                  yes
                  FIDELIO is a work in progress. Nevertheless, there is a manual documenting the first version of the model (JRC81864) and an update to illustrate the changes leading to the second version of it (JRC105900). Also, the B5 unit is open to collaborations using FIDELIO. With the forthcoming third version of FIDELIO, model structures and guidelines will be produced so as to facilitate the use of the model to any interested user.

                  Is the model code open-source?

                  no

                  Can the code be accessed upon request?

                  yes
