Overview

Estimated economic and environmental costs and benefits for corn
ethanol mandate and corn + cellulosic ethanol mandate with low and
high social cost of carbon (SCC).

This dataset contains BEPAM model code and input data to replicate the outcomes for “The Economic and Environmental Costs and Benefits of the Renewable Fuel Standard”.

The dataset consists of:

  1. The replication codes and data for the BEPAM model. The code file is named as output.gms. (BEPAM-Social cost model-ERL.zip)
  2. Simulation results from the BEPAM model (BEPAM_Simulation_Results.csv)

* Item (1) is in GAMS format. Item (2) is in text format.
