    • Impacts of CO2 Mandates for New Cars in the European Union 

      Paltsev, S.; Chen, Y.-H.H.; Karplus, V.; Kishimoto, P.; Reilly, J. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-05)
      CO2 emissions mandates for new light-duty passenger vehicles have recently been adopted in the European Union (EU), which require steady reductions to 95 g CO2/km in 2021. Using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model, ...

    • Water Body Temperature Model for Assessing Climate Change Impacts on Thermal Cooling 

      Strzepek, K.; Fant, C.; Gebretsadik, Y.; Lickley, M.; Boehlert, B.; e.a. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-05)
      We develop and test a physically based semi-Lagrangian water body temperature model to apply climatological data and thermal pollution from river-based power plants to historical river flow data in order to better understand ...

    • Capturing Natural Resource Dynamics in Top-Down Energy‑Economic Equilibrium Models 

      Zhang, Da; Karplus, V.; Rausch, S. (2015-10-20)
      Top-down energy-economic modeling approaches often use deliberately simple techniques to represent heterogeneous resource inputs to production. We show that for some policies, such as feed-in tariffs (FIT) for renewable ...
