About PSEKP UGMOVERVIEW OF THE CENTER FOR ECONOMIC AND PUBLIC POLICY STUDIES
 Center for Economic and Public Policy Studies (CEPPS) is the new
name for the Inter University Center of Economic Studies Gadjah Mada
University Yogyakarta that was initiated by the Directorate General of
Higher Education, Department of Cultural and Education of the
Government of Indonesia on 1986. This was funded by the World
Bank Project No. XVII.
 The CEPPS is one of the center for research in Indonesia that produces
a high quality researches result, provides funding for Master and
Doctor Programs, creates the conducive academic situation and
makes cooperation and interaction with other researchers not
only domestic but also overseas researchers.

 This document provides the technical details for assumptions made in the SimPaSI (Simulating
Pathways to Sustainability in Indonesia) model for Central Java. The model was developed in
partnership with the Government of Indonesia and several experts from local universities. The
goal of this document is to create the level of transparency necessary to allow third parties to
understand model assumptions. Thus, this design document provides in the following modelling
aim, followed by some geographical background and the actual model design. The model design
presents first the pseudo code (Section 5) that allows other researchers to replicate the model
implementation. Section 6 documents the scientific background for model assumptions to allow
for full transparency.
The goal is to develop an approach that can be used to understand the community level triple
bottom line outcomes of proposed macro policy interventions. The development of the SimPaSI
model aims to improve the capacity of central and local decision makers by providing quantitative
simulation tools to assess energy related policies against their impact on indicators such as
poverty. This approach assumes that policy changes such as fuel subsidy reductions are likely to
lead to very different outcomes in different parts of Indonesia. Implementing for exemplary
districts a grass root level approach for simulating policy impacts allows for understanding
region specific impacts and how they differ across Indonesia. Such insights allow for fine-tuning
policies and improve decision making for sustainable development.
