Hi,
Good day! Is there a full self contained documentation for MimiGive - I know there are separate reference materials for the components, but is there a full documentation where I can get a fair share into the formulations?
Additionally, I would like to confirm if it’s possible to modify MimiFAIR and have those modifications reflect in MimiGIVE.
Thank you.
Thanks for the question @pansah
Existing documentation for the MimiGIVE model can be found at (1) the Github repository for MimiGIVE here (2) the Rennert et al. (2022) publication here (3) ancillary Github repositories and respective papers for things like individual damages functions or the RFF socioeconomic scenarios that are linked in both of the resources above.
In theory yes, you may use a combination of Github features (like forks) and Julia versioning (change the environment to reference your fork) to modify a dependency (MimiFAIR is a dependency of MimiGIVE) and have the change flow through. There are a few ways to do this.
That said, it can be a bit involved so it depends on your comfort with these tools. My personal advice would be to try to just bring in the MimiGIVE model and then modify/replace individual components. Every component of MimiFAIR is a component of MimiGIVE, so using features like replace_comp! or may simplify your workflow, depending on what you are trying to do.
