Platform Purpose
This platform builds a durable analytical and infrastructure backbone
for NZIPL's clean industrial policy research — a
global trade model that tracks the movement of technologies, components,
and natural resources through the global economy along the product space of
clean value chains. It enables assessment of the impacts of green industrial
policy, trade policy, interest rates, and quotas on trade, material flows, and
aggregate economic indicators — and helps identify the best opportunities for
global supply chain cooperation that benefit all countries.
What it tracks
Goods classified by sequential function — raw material, processed material,
product component, process equipment — placed at upstream, midstream, or downstream
positions along the clean value chain.
How it is structured
Product codes are linked to each other through a tech tree (dendrite), mapping
the full input–output structure of each clean technology from extraction to final product.
Four integrated datasets provide coverage across trade, firm capabilities, and ML forecasts.
Who it serves
Inputs for ongoing discussions about the rules structuring competition and cooperation
between countries — particularly for the Global South — and institutional consolidation
of NZIPL's clean industrial policy research agenda.
