How did Uzbekistan increase their model’s global economic loss from 20% to 60%?

I really want to know what arithmetic error was made, and how it got past peer review.

Did it predict a China-size negative output in the future, or assume a current China-size economic output for that county?

(Having said that, 60% loss by 2100 seems completely plausible to me, and 20% sounds like wishful thinking. Big chunks of the US southwest have obviously lost more than 20% of their economies to climate change since 2000…)
