1 MAMS: Review of Mathematical Model Structure Hans Lofgren World Bank Presentation for Second Training Workshop of the Project Assessing Development Strategies to Achieve the MDGs in the Arab Region, Tunis, January 21-24, 2008.
2 Introduction Objective of presentation: Provide more details on the different relationships built into MAMS. MAMS: A simultaneous equation system that is square (# of variables = # of equations). MAMS can be split into three modules: 1. Within-period (summarized in figure with CGE/SAM payments) 2. Between-period (endogenous updating of stocks and productivity) 3. MDG-and-education This material is presented in more detail in the file Lofgren-MAMS-Math-Stat-simple posting.doc.
3 Introduction Compared to the full mathematical statement, the following key features have been suppressed: time subscripts (except when time lags are relevant; think of all equations, parameters, and variables as having a time index t); features related to the presence of multiple representative households; think of this version as having a single household.
4 Introduction The following notational conventions apply: Upper-case Latin letters are used for variables. Exogenous variables have a bar on top, endogenous variables do not. Parameters have Greek or lower-case Latin letters. Subscripts refer to set indices. Superscripts are part of the name of the variables or parameter. Lower-case set indices refer to individual elements; upper-case set indices refer to the set itself (here used in summations.
