MERGE-ETL is an integrated assessment model combining a bottom-up description of the energy system, a top-down description of the economy (Ramsey-type), and a simplified climate cycle. In addition, technological learning is represented in MERGE-ETL by two-factor learning curves for technology investment costs by accounting for technological and regional spillovers in technology learning.
