Modeling and Data
Integrated Modeling and Data Analysis. We conduct modeling and data analysis across disciplines in an era of increasing volumes of observational data. MIT multi‑system models and data products, building on and extending from the well‑known Integrated Global System Modeling framework and the MIT Economic Projection and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, provide robust information to inform decision‑making and shape the next generation of sustainability science and strategy.
