Differences in global or world models, including dramatic variation in forecasts they produce, have drawn considerable attention. Most analyses in search of the bases for differences focus on general structural characteristics of the models. This article seeks the bases at three interrelated levels: general world view, specific theoretical and structural components, and data and parameter choices. After analysis of various models in these terms, the article describes a world model with sufficient structural and data/parameter flexibility that characteristics of other models can be introduced. Doing so produces behavior which emulates the other models and thereby supports the identification of the characteristics key to behavioral differences
