Uncertainty and learning in sequential decision-making : the case of climate policy
… information in choosing an appropriate level of emissions abatement activities today under uncertainty. In this dissertation, we construct two-period sequential decision models to represent the choice of a level of emissions abatement over the next decade and another choice for the remainder of …

Three papers on input-ouput [sic] energy and environmental accounting
… regional economists for studying energy and emissions due to its focus on interindustry linkages. In a series of three papers, we apply the input-output model to three different aspects of fossil-fuel energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions, using two temporally extensive datasets. In …

Assessing Opportunities to Reduce Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Electric Arc Furnace Steelmaking in the United States
Steel is energy- and CO₂ emissions-intensive to produce, but it is also a crucial material for infrastructure, defense, and the energy transition. This thesis focuses on Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) steelmaking, which accounts for roughly 70% of steel production in the United States. Decarbonization …

End-use electrification in the residential sector : a general equilibrium analysis of technology advancements
… on energy consumption to its contribution to the abatement of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. I use the MIT Emissions Prediction and Policy Analysis (EPPA) model, a computable general equilibrium model, to analyze the research question. The EPPA model captures full economy-wide impacts of policy …
