The
Air Benefit and Cost Group (ABCG) develops models
and tools for estimating the costs and economic impacts of air pollution
regulations. This also includes obtaining or developing the necessary
model parameters such as supply and demand elasticities. Provided
below are the economic analysis models and tools maintained by ABCG.
Click on the model/tool of interest and you will be taken to a separate
page where a detailed description and downloadable files can be
found.
File Description |
| Elasticity Databank
– in the absence of an encyclopedic ‘Book of Elasticities’
this PC-based tool provides a searchable database of elasticity
parameters across a variety of types (i.e., demand and supply
elasticities, substitution elasticities, income elasticities,
and trade elasticities) and economic sectors/product markets.
A submittal form allows you to provide elasticity estimates for consideration as part of this databank |
| FAST – a PC-based
tool to conduct screening-level analysis of small entity impacts
as well as broad market impacts for consideration during the
early stages of regulatory development. |
| EMPAX-CGE – a
regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model designed
to estimate macroeconomic impacts of environmental regulations
on the U.S. economy. Both static and dynamic versions of EMPAX-CGE
have been developed for policy analysis. |
