India 2017 Consolidation
Overview
India's sub-regional model has a total of 69 preprocessor series. Although there are 652 preprocessor series in the IFs model, there are many that are not applicable to sub-regional models or do not significantly impact forecasts. Therefore, only 355 preprocessor series are sought for sub-regionalization. Thus India's sub-regional model has nearly 19.4% coverage at this point. There are a 31 preprocessor series that have been identified that could be pulled into the model. If this data was to be pulled the the total coverage of the model would increase to nearly 28.2%.
| IFs Module | Series Pulled | Total Series Pulled | Coverage |
| Population | 8 | 8 | 100% |
| Economy | 24 | 55 | 43.6% |
| Agriculture | 8 | 36 | 22.2% |
| Education | 17 | 91 | 18.7% |
| Energy | 4 | 66 | 6.1% |
| Socio-Political | 3 | 12 | 25% |
| Infrastructure | 0 | 21 | 0% |
| Environment | 0 | 9 | 0% |
| Health | 5 | 57 | 8.8% |
| Total | 69 | 355 | 19.4% |
| Potential Coverage | 100 | 355 | 28.2% |
The population module is completely covered, however there are some problems with migration which are detailed in the population section. The economy module has the second highest module coverage in the India sub-national module with almost 44% coverage. Infrastructure, Environment, Energy, and Health are areas of relative weakness in the model. Of the potential preprocessor series, most are in the infrastructure and agricultural modules. Therefore, infrastructure's coverage could be improved significantly.
Population Module
IFs population module may have some problems in sub-regional migration, that require further research in the future. Migration is an exogenous variable based upon UNPD forecasts of net migration rates in the model. In the case of sub-regional models it is difficult to find sub-regional forecasts of migration. IIASA was generous enough to grant the Pardee Center access to their preliminary migration forecasts for the states and union territories of India, which has resolved the issue of access to reliable forecasts. Additionally, there is two errors that occur when the model is broken out with sub-regional migration forecast data. The first is this:
Followed by this error:
In IFsHistSeries.mdb the ForecastNetMigrationUNPD table and the ForecastNetMigrationRateUNPD table are filled with zeroes where the data should be nulls for all sub-regions. This may be part of the cause of the error. The error may be caused by the logic for migration, where foreign population is a function of migration. There may be some limitations to the amount of intranational migration based upon the aggregated foreign population for a given country. This is only conjecture and requires further analysis in the future.
Due to the errors that occur when the model is broken out with subnational migration data, migration forecasts are not included in the model's breakout. This leaves population forecasts unimpacted by migration and all provincial migration rates are zero in the base case. A scenario is used to calibrate IFs' population forecasts in India to introduce migration to the model without causing model error.
Model Vetting Using IIASA's India Model
India's subnational population was rigorously vetted and one of the tools available was subnational population forecasts that were developed by IIASA. These forecasts were compared with each state and territory in India, as were the components of these forecasts. The components include births, deaths, and migration. Below is a state-by-state comparison of the IFs base case (without migration) with IIASA's forecasts for population, births, deaths, and migration.
This comparison is followed by graphs that document population model calibration. First migration rates and then population for each state after scenarios using the migrater parameter in IFs. There are two scenarios for the subnational population in India. The first scenario has migration rates for all provinces that are directly from IIASA. The second scenario is an adjustment of the first scenario where each province's migration rates from IIASA are excluded, included, doubled, or halved. These decisions for this scenario are based upon how the population forecasts looked after the first migration scenario. The third scenario is a slightly adjusted version of the second scenario that was run with the final China migration scenario.
Two states are missing from this analysis, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. These states were not included because IIASA's forecasts only have Andhra Pradesh, which includes Telangana. Whereas, the IFs model has Andhra Pradesh and Telangana separated.
India
Population
Below is a graph of the population sum of the states and terrritories for IIASA, IFs without migration, and the three IFs migration scenarios. These are all compared to the 186 version of IFs. As shown below, IFs without migration and IFs migration scenario 1 are significantly higher than the other population models. IIASA's subnational model's population summed is almost identical to IFs' 186 model. Migration scenario 2 is in between the two models. The third and final migration scenario is the closest to IIASA and the 186 version of IFs. The third migration scenario has about 19 million more people than the 186 version of IFs in 2100, where as the second scenario has about 78 million more people and the first migration scenario has about 172 million more people.

Andaman and Nicobar Islands
Population
In 2010 the IFs model's population is about 2% greater than IIASA's, but in 2015 Andaman and Nicobar Islands's population drops below IIASA's by about 9%. The IFs model's population forecasts are less than IIASA's by an increasing rate and by 2095 IFs's population forecast is by about 94%.
Crude Birth Rates
Andaman and Nicobar Island's Crude Birth Rates in IFs are close to IIASA's forecasts. In 2075 and 2080 IFs is less than IIASA by about 10%, but all other years the two models are less than 10% in difference.
Crude Death Rates
The IFs model's CDRs are significantly greater than IIASA's forecasts. In 2015 the IFs model's CDRs are about 9% greater than IIASA's and by 2095 the difference grows to around 23%.
Migration
The net migration rate from IIASA in Andaman and Nicobar Islands starts out high in 2010 at about 8.5 per thousand and steadily declines to just below 3 per thousand by 2095.
Total Fertility Rates
IIASA's TFR forecasts are greater than IFs' forecasts for all years. The two models are relatively close.

Migration Scenario 2 Results
Although there is some visible difference between the IIASA and IFs model with the first scenario, the difference is very small is absolute terms. The population in Andaman and Nicobar Islands is small and the difference is minimal.
Migration After Scenario 2
The second migration scenario is almost identical to the first scenario. In the first few years of forecast, Andaman and Nicobar Islands are identical to IIASA in the second scenario, whereas, in the first scenario the migration rates are at zero.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
Although migrater was not changed between the two scenarios, the migration rate and the population did change. The slight change in the first years of migration increased population sufficiently to bring Andaman and Nicobar Islands up to almost IIASA's population forecast.
Migration Scenario 3 Results
The migration rates are the same for Andaman and Nicobar Islands as they were in the second scenario.

Arunanchal Pradesh
Population
Arunanchal Pradesh's population forecast in IFs is close to IIASA's. IFs is less than IIASA by an increasing amount from about 2040 to 2080. In 2080, the difference between the two model's forecasts peaks at about a 4.3% difference. From 2080 through the end of the time horizon the difference between the two models decreases slightly to around 4%.

Arunanchal Pradesh's CBRs in the IFs model jump up in 2014 at model initialization. The IFs model's forecasts are significantly higher than IIASA's, ranging between 18% and 36% difference.
Crude Death Rate
Arunanchal Pradesh's CDRs in IFs are greater than in IIASA's by 36% initially. Overtime, the two models become closer and closer until 2090 when IIASA's forecasts for CDR pass IFs.
Migration
Total Fertility Rates
TFR in IFs' forecasts for Arunanchal Pradesh is significantly greater than IIASA's forecasts.
Migration Scenario 1 Results
Migration Rate After Migration Scenario 1
The first time the scenario was run this province's migration data was dropped from the scenario after the scenario file was run. The cause of this error is not known, but it was remedied by copying and pasting the scenario data into another scenario file. Upon rerunning the scenario with the fixed scenario file, the migration rate is identical.
Population After Migration Scenario 1
Arunanchal Pradesh's population is significantly greater after the introduction of migration into the model.
Migration Scenario 2 Results
Births are greater in the IFs model which causes population to increase by too much when migration is introduced. Therefore, migration is removed for Arunanchal Pradesh in the second scenario.
Migration Rate After Migration Scenario 2
Population After Migration Scenario 2
After the second scenario with the removal of migration rates, Arunanchal Pradesh's population is identical to the base case and close to IIASA's population forecast.

Assam
Population
The IFs model's population forecasts are slightly greater than IIASA's by less than 5% in all years. The average difference between the two models is around a 3%.

Migration Scenario 2 Results
Assam's population forecasts in the first scenario with IIASA's migration rates are quite close to IIASA's population forecasts and therefore do not require any adjustment in the second scenario. Migration rates are included and remain the same in the second scenario as they were in the first scenario.
Migration Rates After Migration Scenario 2
Although the migration rates are unchanged in the second scenario, the migration rates are greater in the second scenario than in the first.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
Assam's migration rates do not change significantly in absolute terms and the population forecasts in the second scenario is quite close to IIASA's and the first scenario's population forecasts.

Bihar
Population
Bihar is one of the largest provinces in India and IFs is forecasting greater population growth than what is seen in IIASA's forecasts by about 70 million by the end of the time horizon. In 2095, IFs forecasts Bihar's population to be about 31% greater than IIASA's forecast.
Crude Birth Rate
IFs forecast of Bihar's CBRs are greater than IIASA's. IFs forecasts rise and fall two times in the forecasts. IIASA's forecasts are smoother than IFs and steadily decline over time. In 2030 the difference between the two models is at its' greatest reaching about a 24% difference. In 2095 the difference between the two model's declines to its' lowest point at about 3% difference.
Crude Death Rate
In 2010 the two model's have their greatest difference, with IFs's CDR being 20% greater than IIASA's. From IFs model initialization in 2014 through 2060 the two models are quite close, with less than 10% difference in all years. After 2060, IIASA's forecasts are greater than IFs by about 10% to 13%.
Migration
Total Fertility Rates
IFs' forecasts of TFR for Bihar are significantly greater than IIASA's until 2045. After 2045, TFR remains flat at 1.9 births per woman through the end of the time horizon in both models.
Migration Scenario 1 Results
Bihar has significant outward migration in IIASA's forecasts and this appears to be the main driver that is pushing Bihar's population forecast much higher than IIASA's. To remedy this, IIASA's migration data for Bihar was put into a scenario file using the parameter migrater.
Below is a graph showing Bihar's migration rates from the IIASA model (in orange), the IFs provincial model without migration (in blue), and the migration scenario with migration rates from IIASA (in grey). Despite the migration data being identical in the scenario file to the IIASA data, the results from the migration scenario's run are not identical to IIASA. This graph shows migration rates in Bihar when the scenario file only had migration rates for Bihar, the rest of the provinces were not affected.
Below is the population forecasts from IIASA (in blue), IFs without migration (in red), and IFs with the migration scenario (in green).
Migration Scenario Results 2
This migration scenario is the one represented in all other provinces, where all provinces have migration data from IIASA in the migrater parameter.
Migration Rate After Migration Scenario 2
With all provinces' migration rates adjusted, Bihar responds as expected where migration rates match IIASA's.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
Migration Scenario 3 Results
Bihar is the only province that has been changed three times, and the third scenario in Bihar is from the same scenario that is referred to as Scenario 2 throughout the rest of this document. The third scenario in Bihar is labeled as SCE2 in the graphs for consistency across scenario versions and provinces. Because the population did not significantly change between the first Bihar migration scenario and the second, net migration rates were doubled in the third migration scenario.
Migration Rates After Scenario 3
The doubling of migration rates in 2014 shifts the migration rate line in the scenario down. After 2085, migration rates are forecast to decline to the same level that is in IIASA and the previous scenario.
Population After Migration Scenario 3
After the third migration scenario, Bihar's population forecasts have sufficiently declined to levels that are close to IIASA's population forecasts. There is a decline in population by about 80 million in 2100 from the base case to the third scenario.
Migration Scenario 4 Results
Bihar's migration scenario 4 is the equivalent of migration scenario 3 for all other provinces in India. Bihar's migration rates were unchanged in the final scenario from the previous version.

The IFs model's forecast of population in Chhatisgarh is greater than IIASA's population forecasts by an increasing margin. By 2095 IFs' population is about 11% greater than IIASA's.
Crude Birth Rates
From 2010 through 2030 the two models' forecasts of CBRs have the greatest difference, ranging from 4% in 2015 to 11% in 2025. From 2030 through the end of the time horizon, the two models are similar with less than 3% difference in any given year.

The IFs model's historical TFR are greater than IIASA's, but IFs' rates decline more quickly than IIASA's. Both models reach 1.9 births per woman by 2045 and remain at that rate until the end of the time horizon.
Migration Scenario 1 Results
Migration Rate After Migration Scenario 1
Population After Migration Scenario 1
Migration Scenario 2 Results
The population forecasts from the first scenario were close to IIASA with the inclusion of migration and therefore the migration rates remain unchanged for Chhatisgarh in the second scenario.
Migration Rates After Migration Scenario 2
The migration rates in the second scenario are identical to the migration rates from IIASA and the first scenario. However after the second scenario was run migration rates are greater for all years.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
The greater migration rates makes population slightly greater in the second scenario, but the difference is small.
Migration Scenario 3 Results
Chhatisgarh's migration rates were doubled, which means they were lowered from -0.12 to -0.24 in 2014.

The difference between the two models is greatest in magnitude in 2015 with IFs being 62% greater than IIASA's CDR. The models have the least difference in total in 2010 with about 0.75 deaths per thousand difference.
Migration
Total Fertility Rates
The historical data in the IFs model is significantly greater than the IIASA model's initialization in 2010. IFs forecasts TFR to drop down to 1.9 in 2035 and remain there through the end of the time horizon. IIASA forecasts TFR to drop to 1.75 in 2045 and the rate remains flat through 2095.
Migration Scenario 1 Results
Migration Rate After Migration Scenario 1
Population After Migration Scenario 1
Migration Scenario 2 Results
The first scenario places population forecasts to be almost identical to IIASA's population forecasts. Therefore, there is no change in migration rates in the second scenario for Dadra and Nagar Haveli.
Migration Rates After Migration Scenario 2
Although the migration rates within the second scenario are identical to IIASA's and the first scenario, after the scenario is run the migration rates are greater in the second scenario.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
The increased migration rates in the second scenario causes the population forecasts to overshoot IIASA's. The total population is really small in all models.

Goa
Population
Goa's population in IFs is significantly less than the population in IIASA's model. By 2095 IFs population is 59% less than IIASA's.
Crude Birth Rates
Goa's CBRs are greater in the IFs model than the IIASA model for all years by about 1.5 births per thousand. The magnitude of difference between the two models ranges from 11% to 17%.
Crude Death Rates
There is a significant downward shift in IF's forecast of CDR in 2014 at model initialization. This shift results in a 43% magnitude of difference between IFs and IIASA's models, despite the two models having very close starting points in 2010. IFs' forecasts of CDRs increase more rapidly than IIASA's, and by 2070 IFs' CDRs become greater than IIASA's through the end of the time horizon.
Migration
Total Fertility Rates
IIASA's forecasts of TFR drop below 1.4 from 2015 through 2045. After 2045 IIASA forecasts TFR to steadily increase to 1.6. IFs forecasts TFR to start at 1.6 births per woman and then steadily increase to 1.9.
Migration Scenario 1 Results
Migration Rate After Migration Scenario 1
Population After Migration Scenario 1
Migration Scenario 2 Results
The first scenario overshoots IIASA's population because births are greater and deaths are lower (in the earlier years) in IFs. Therefore, the migration rate in Goa is halved in the second scenario.
Migration Rate in Migration Scenario 2
The migration rate in Goa was halved starting in 2014 in the second migration scenario. However, the first few years are close to zero after the scenario was run. These zeroes are not in the data in the scenario, rather it is some push back from within the model.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
The halving of migration rates in Goa in the second scenario brings population forecasts down to IIASA's population forecasts.

Uttaranchal's population is closer to IIASA's in the second scenario without migration, but the population is still about 1.5 million greater than in IIASA's model.
Migration Scenario 3 Results
Uttaranchal's migration rates are the same in third scenario as they were in the second.

Uttar Pradesh
Population
IFs forecast of population in Uttar Pradesh is greater than IIASA's by an increasing margin. By 2095, Uttar Pradesh is forecast to have about 80 million more people in the IFs forecasts.
Crude Birth Rates
IFs' forecast of CBRs in Uttar Pradesh is greater than IIASA's for all years by a shifting margin. The difference between the two model's peaks in 2025 with about a 19% difference. By the end of the time horizon in 2095, the two models are almost the same. IIASA's CBRs are forecast to decline steadily.
Crude Death Rates
There is a jump up in CDRs in 2014 in the IFs model when the model initializes. From 2010 through 2040 IFs' forecasts of CDRs are greater than IIASA's by a decreasing margin. From 2040 through the end of the time horizon, the two models are about the same.

Migration Scenario 2 Results
The first migration scenario was not aggressive enough to bring population in IFs down sufficiently. Therefore, the migration rates for Uttar Pradesh were doubled in the second scenario.
Migration Rates After Migration Scenario 2
There was some model push back on migration rates towards the end of the time horizon.
Population After Migration Scenario 2
Population forecasts in the second scenario are almost identical to IIASA's.
Migration Scenario 3 Results
Uttar Pradesh's migration rates are unchanged in the third scenario from the second.

West Bengal
Population
IFs' population forecast of West Bengal is greater than IIASA's by an increasing margin. By 2095, IFs forecasts about 15 million more people in West Bengal than in the IIASA model.
Crude Birth Rates
IFs forecasts CBRs to be greater than IIASA's forecast by about 2 births per thousand.
Crude Death Rates
There is a spike in CDRs in the IFs model in 2014, when the model initializes. From 2020 on the IIASA model's CDRs are greater than the IFs model.
Migration
Total Fertility Rates
IFs and IIASA's TFR are about the same for the first few years until 2020. After 2020, IIASA declines below IFs by about 0.2 and then rises. IFs' forecasts of TFR steadily increase from 2010 through the end of time horizon where TFR approaches by does not reach 1.9. IIASA's forecast of TFR reaches 1.72 by 2095.
