Greenhouse Gas Measurement in Economics and Finance

Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000

The United States is building an integrated system for measuring and monitoring greenhouse gases. The numbers it produces are already being used in financial and procurement decisions. This project worked on the economics of that: what better emissions data is worth, who benefits from it, and how those benefits and costs should be demonstrated to the people funding the measurement.

Led in the Applied Economics Office, which carries the economic analysis behind NIST’s measurement programs.

Economics of Community Resilience Planning

Mon, 01 Aug 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Resilience investments are decided by people who disagree about how likely a disaster is and how much a bad outcome would hurt. This project builds the economic methods for that decision. It elicits risk preferences from individuals and from groups. It also values outcomes that no market prices, and measures how far expert risk judgments diverge from those of the communities experts advise.

Outputs include NIST guidance on nonmarket valuation, the Economic Decision Guide software and its wildfire case studies, published survey instruments, and empirical work on how past disasters shaped pandemic relief.
