Policy Oriented Analysis with WiNDC
(Short Summer Course - Friday, July 23, 2021)

Overview

  1. Working with the WiNDC database:
    • Aggregating to a given base year, given sectors and regions.
    • Incorporating satellite data to the core WiNDC dataset: the energy-environment dataset BlueNote and canonical model.
    • Calibrating to BLS occupational categories.
  2. Back to our sample application (each with short write-up, GAMS model and code for general simulations and pivot reports).
    1. Overview of the issues.
    2. Model structure -- using the WiNDC-BlueNote dataset to examine climate policy proposals.
    3. Assessing the distributional impacts across households and states of US climate measures (carbon taxes, border measures, and renewable portfolio standards).
