Rebecca Wigg – E3-India Model

E3-India Book Launch

E3-India initiative in collaboration with Gokhale institute of Politics & Economics, Cambridge Econometrics, U.K. and Regulatory Assistance Project, USA are jointly launching a book: Economy-Wide Assessment of Regional Policies in India: Applications of E3-India Model on December 14, 2021.

Economy-Wide Assessment of Regional Policies in India

Edited by Dr. Kakali Mukhopadhyay, the book provides comprehensive coverage of creating and using E3 modeling framework for regional policy analysis, which is available in public domain for the first time in India.

India’s Energy Transition: Implications and Considerations

Researchers are using the E3-India model to quantify the benefits of meeting the country’s renewable energy goals.

27th International Input-Output Association Conference

The E3-India team shared early results from new research aimed at evaluating the socio-economic outcomes of meeting India’s Nationally Determined Commitments under the Paris Accord. Initial results reveal overall positive impacts at the national level, but also underscore the adverse social impacts in coal-bearing states already identified as climate hotspots. The research forms a crucial foundation for the development of effective state level climate policy in India.

Applied Energy “A+B” Symposium

Using the E3-India model to analyze the socio-economic impact of meeting India’s Nationally Determined Commitments, Dr. Joshi and Dr. Mukhopadhyay argue that the 1.5°C pathway offers greater growth and development opportunities than the 2°C pathway. Overall, the national impact on income generation, employment and government revenue is positive. However, adverse social impacts in coal-bearing states will need to be addressed to build the policy consensus needed to ensure deep decarbonization.

Climate Resilience and Nationally Determined Commitments

In this study we assess the direct and indirect economic impacts of India’s Nationally Determined Commitments (NDCs) and beyond at the subnational level using an integrated macro-econometric dynamic simulation model: E3-India.

58th Congress European Regional Science Association

We presented a paper on a framework to assess the robustness and consistency of integrated assessment models at this meeting of national regional science associations. The congress involves wide participation by academicians, policy professionals, and researchers in spatial economics and planning, regional and local development, and related issues.

26th International Input Output Conference

At this conference we presented on applications of E3-India for mapping regional economic impacts of renewable capacity addition targets. The host organization is an informal worldwide network of economists, government officials, engineers, and managers with interests in input-output analysis and associated modelling techniques.
