Ecological macroeconomics with Philia 1.0

The objective of this paper is to make ecological macroeconomic modeling accessible to all by sharing the code, technical appendix and User Manual of Philia 1.0, an ongoing modeling project used in several academic papers. Philia 1.0 is a middle-sized model of 500 equations describing the interaction between an artificial economy and a simplified Earth system. This model yields analytical insight into the impact of a wide array of sustainable transition policies on the macroeconomy, climate, inequalities, and postgrowth welfare indicators. The E-views code modules discussed in this paper are scalable so that researchers can easily introduce new variables, recalibrate the model, change parameter value or include new structural relationships to develop their own policy scenarios.
