Objective Function Question

[mbr1818]

Dear FORUM,

I have been reading the TIMES documentation and I have a quick question about the ObjZ value in the EPAUS9rT model.

For BAU or Tax scenarios I get a value of about $51 trillion or $58 trillion depending on the scenario. I realize that the ObjZ variable is the discounted sum of costs from 2010-2050. I am wondering, however, if this is the sum of each individual year from 2010-2050 or just the years that are reported (2010,2011, 2015,2020,2025,2030,etc..)? I have been looking through documentation but have a hard time finding the answer.

Thank you for your help,

Mike
