Developed in Python version 2.7.16. Please note, this code is meant to give a general overview of the model structure and not to fully reproduce the model results with the push of one button. The full model code is much more complex to account for various simulation scenarios and relies on numerous large input datasets that all require extensive preprocessing. By omitting these complexities, we tried to make this script as understandable as possible. In case your goal is to reproduce the model in detail, please contact the first author to discuss the possibilities.
