Models

Unique: the Prognos models.

Reliable analyses and forecasts up to 40 years into the future – this is what Prognos stands for. For this, our experts have developed specific high-performance instruments: the technical-economic Prognos models. They allow us to answer very different, challenging system-related questions in the fields of economics, social welfare, energy and transport.

The Prognos models landscape

The technical-economic Prognos models can be interlinked depending on the question and make interdisciplinary aspects of a topic visible. This graphic shows how the models are interlinked:

 

The strengths of our models

  • Refined. Over 40 years of model work have shaped our model portfolio into what it is today. The Prognos models successfully compete with other models from science and consulting.
  • Interlinked. Our sub-models can be linked with each other depending on the issue at hand and thus depict interactions as well as overarching and integrated aspects.
  • Scientific. Our modelling is based on precise knowledge of how the respective segment and its dynamics work.
  • Tried-and-tested. We have been using models for decades, dealing with recurring issues. This allows us to check the results retrospectively and to constantly refine our models.
  • Resilient. We map the interactions and dynamics in the respective segments with well-founded arguments and underpin our results with sensitivity calculations.
  • Flexible. New questions require new approaches. Our models are modular to a large extent and can be extended or adapted to specific questions.
