Snakemake workflow: BoARIO-MRIOT-Tools

A Snakemake workflow for downloading, parsing and aggregating Multi-Regional Input Output Tables (MRIOTs), using pymrio, as well as associated configuration files for the purpose of being used in simulations with the BoARIO model package.

Usage

The usage of this workflow is described in the Snakemake Workflow Catalog.

If you use this workflow in a paper, don't forget to give credits to the authors by citing the URL of this (original) repository.

File naming structure

Generated pymrio.IOSystem files have the following format:

{mriot_name}/{mriot_name}_{year}_{aggregation}.pkl

Where:

• mriot_name can be any of exiobase3_ixi, eora26, euregio, icio2021
• year can be any of the existing year for the corresponding MRIOT
• aggregation can be common_aggreg, or any value for which a aggregation correspondence file exists (config/aggregation_files/{mriot_name}_{aggretation}.

Recommendations

Here are some recommendations:

• Keep track of the MRIOT sources you use and don't forget to cite the associated project.
• Monitor your disk usage, MRIOT consume quite the space.
• Don't hesitate to raise an issue !

EORA 26 download

Accessing Eora26 MRIOT requires an account, thus automatic download is less easy. The current way for the workflow to work is to download manually¹:

• Connect to your account on https://worldmrio.com/eora26/
• Download the MRIOT you want (Eora26_2000_bp.zip for instance) and put it inside the download folder (downloaded/eora26/ per default).
• Also download indice.zip from the same page, into the same folder.
