Step 9: PESERA Model run 2

When a technology adoption map (step 6 or 8) is ready, this can be fed back into PESERA to evaluate the impact on output variables. In this second PESERA model run, grid cells will either feature the technology with the highest NPV (if the technology adoption map from step 6 is used) or the technology as predicted according to the adoption pattern simulated in step 8. This PESERA model run thus differs from the first run in that it will be based on a configured technology adoption map instead of separate runs for each technology taking into account its applicability limitations. It will be interesting to map PESERA output data for their own sake, either by visualizing the final physical impact of land mitigation strategies or as a reduction relative to the without situation. Such output maps can be used to inform policy development scenarios (step 12) and to integrate these effects in a CBA including selected wider economic effects (step 11). Apart from maps, also aggregate accounts for each of the output variables can be elaborated.

Data sources: 1) PESERA input data; 2) map with spatially explicit adoption of technologies (step 6/8)
