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.

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.

Our three-paper panel at this meeting introduced E3-India as an evidence-based integrated regional model for policy planning and analysis in India. The host organization is an international community of scholars interested in the regional impacts of national or global processes of economic and social change.

The E3-India team and collaborators hosted a special session demonstrating the value of using integrated macro-econometric simulation models for modelling energy transitions at different regional scales.

More than 40 students and faculty members attended this workshop on E3 modelling framework and model applications, hosted by the Energy Science and Engineering Department. The content included a mix of in-depth theoretical and conceptual presentations along with hands-on opportunities to delve into using the modelling tool more effectively.
