Climate Change Research: Capabilities
Economic Impact Analysis
Leading environmental economists at RTI analyze the costs and economic effects of climate change on particular industries and countries around the world.
We have decades of experience in conducting environmental policy analysis for EPA and other agencies using the Applied Dynamic Analysis Global Economic (ADAGE) Model. A dynamic computable general equilibrium model, ADAGE combines theory and empirical data to estimate policy effect, while accounting for all interactions among business and consumers. RTI uses this model to investigate economic policies at the international, national, and U.S. regional and state levels.
