FRAMES: Framework for Modelling Economies & Sustainability
Contact usA scalable framework for country-level economic assessment, with low minimum data requirements
Data availability constraints don't have to be a boundary to effective policy design.
Built on the foundations of E3ME — Cambridge Econometrics' globally recognised macroeconomic model — FRAMES brings the same rigorous economy-energy-environment analysis to countries where data availability has traditionally been a barrier.
FRAMES is an advanced input-output tool that can be deployed quickly and configured to the specific economic conditions of individual countries. This gives policymakers and governments credible, evidence-based insights at national and sectoral level without the extensive data requirements of other models used for analysing economy-energy-environment interactions.
Whether you're designing tax reform, assessing green investment or evaluating a major policy shift, FRAMES gives you the analytical foundation to make decisions with confidence.

Key benefits of FRAMES
Reflects real-world dynamics.
Economic, energy and environmental impacts don't happen in isolation. FRAMES models all three together, so you can understand how a policy ripples across the whole system — not just one part of it.
Good policy needs to consider impacts across society, not just in aggregate.
FRAMES breaks down effects across key economic agents (e.g. firms, households, and government) so you can see how a policy's consequences are distributed and design interventions that are both effective and equitable.
Built around a single-country economy.
FRAMES is tailored to the specific structure of a country’s economy, using the country’s own national accounts data. The results aren't generic, they're grounded economic reality.
Shows how impacts evolve over time rather than a single snapshot.
FRAMES produces year-by-year projections giving decision-makers a clear view of how the effects of a policy develop, and when they are likely to be felt.
