    • 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 ...

    • Emulating maize yields from global gridded crop models using statistical estimates 

      Blanc, E.; Sultan, B. (MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change, 2015-03)
      This study estimates statistical models emulating maize yield responses to changes in temperature and precipitation simulated by global gridded crop models. We use the unique and newly-released Inter-Sectoral Impact ...
