These are the core scripts for running the IOTA framework as it is implmented behind the GEIC indicator.

The "IOTA_execution" script needs to be parameterised with the choice of years, MRIO and trade data type. Running this script calls the "run_IOTA" script which runs the framework proper.

None of the input datasets are included in the repository since these are often not our data to share/redistribute.

Any MRIO can be incorporated provided you have the relevent files: intermediate demand, Z total final demand, Y_total total output, x Leontief inverse, L

The MRIO needs to be present in the conrcordance files for commodities (FAO commoditiy to MRIO sector mapping) and regions (FAO country to MRIO region mapping).

Production and trade data can be obtained from FAO for all commodities, except timber which requires COMTRADE trade data.

In future, it is intended to provide a "toy model" codebase, which includes the full functionality of the model, but with simple synthetic datasets to allow the user to run the model with everything included. This should make it easier for users to see how the model works, and in turn make it easier to incorporate their own data sets and files into the framework.
