Desired Education Level(s):
- Graduate Student
- Ph.D. Student
Project Title:
Researching Innovative Climate and Air Quality Benefit and Cost Methods
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Health and Environmental Impacts Division, Air Benefits and Cost Group
Project Overview:
Under this project, the fellow will explore innovative methods of incorporating climate change impacts and policies into cost-benefit analysis of air regulations. Such research could focus on: (1) methods of addressing alternative baseline scenarios to incorporate climate impacts or policies; (2) methods to estimate the benefits of climate and air quality impacts that have previously not been quantified or valued; (3) cost impacts for new regulatory or technology choices to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; and (4) new economic impact methods for incorporating the effects of climate change or impacts of climate policies on affected industries and the national economy.
Project Goals:
The fellow can expect to increase his or her knowledge of environmental health science, microeconomics, climate and air quality modeling, and policy analysis. Research completed under this fellowship could inform a master's thesis or Ph.D. dissertation. After the project is complete, the fellow will have accomplished one of the following: (1) identified a new method to address alternative baseline scenarios to incorporate climate impacts or policies; (2) identified a new method to estimate a specific climate and air quality benefit endpoint that has previously not been quantified or valued; (3) identified a method to address cost impacts for new regulatory or technology choices to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases; or (4) identified new economic impact methods for incorporating the effects of climate change or impacts of climate policies on affected industries and the national economy.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will develop a final report and presentation that summarizes his or her findings.

Office Mission/Responsibility
EPA's Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards (OAQPS) develops regulatory and voluntary strategies for improving air quality. The Air Benefits and Cost Group supports this mission by estimating the economic benefits and costs of achieving air quality standards, including consideration of impacts of climate change on air quality.
