    A self-consistent method to assess air quality co-benefits from U.S. climate policies

    Air quality co-benefits can potentially reduce the costs of greenhouse gas mitigation. However, whereas many studies of the cost of greenhouse gas mitigation model the macroeconomic welfare impacts of…

    Distributional and Efficiency Impacts of Clean and Renewable Energy Standards for Electricity

    We examine the efficiency and distributional impacts of greenhouse gas policies directed toward the electricity sector in a model that links a “top-down” general equilibrium representation of the U.S. economy…

    A Systems Approach to Evaluating the Air Quality Co-benefits of US Carbon Policies

    Because human activities emit greenhouse gases (GHGs) and conventional air pollutants from common sources, policy designed to reduce GHGs can have co-benefits for air quality that may offset some or all of the…
