4. Impact modeling and energy-resource markets • WP3 Energy Resources • To analyse energy security and supply reliability due to the increase in the share of renewable energy • To analyse the potential for bioenergyand examine the energy-food-environment linkages with respect to price and availability • To model strategic energy extraction and investigate the Green Paradox • To understand energy resources markets: the determinants of energy prices • To model energy markets in partail equilibrium framework • To investigate interactions between energy and development and between economic growth and energy production and consumption WP2 Modelling Economic Effects of GHG Mitigation and Adaptation • To develop or extend and update economic modelling tools to assess the impacts of GHG mitigating policies on particular economic sectors and on the economy in general. • To analyse the effect of adaptation on modelling impacts • To improve key parameters of the models by new econometric estimations • To analyse the effects of climate change and incorporate them into the integrated impact assessment models

5. Examining the behavior and assessing the impacts • WP5 Non-market Effects, Risk and Equity • To derive benefit estimates for non-market impacts of climate change • To analyse health risks attributable to climate change and ancillary effect • To quantify external costs attributable to energy generation technologies • To extend impact assessment models by incorporating the non-economic impact of policies • To analyse distributive effects and inequality (intra-generation equity) • To analyse discounting (inter-generation equity) WP4 Energy Efficiency and Household Behaviour • To analyse the economic, policy and attitudinal factors of residential energy demand and efficiency • To investigate the determinants of household endowment by energy durables; analyse the so-called “direct rebound effect” • To analyse household transportation patterns and mobility, the ownership of passenger vehicles and the potential for electro-mobility • To investigate the public acceptance of climate change related policies and adaptation measures

9. Impacts Social • focus on early-carrier researchers, paying attention for involving female students • social and distributional impact analysis • inequality analysis to understand energy poverty, adverse social effects of regulation, social exclusion due to potentially socially adverse policy effects Environmental • evidence-based efficient regulation • to design cost-efficient and environmental effective solutions Scientific • deepen knowledge, widen skills, increase knowledge • decrease fragmentation, isolation and compartmentalisation of national climate and energy research efforts Technical • increase skills in modeling Commercial • none, we conduct basic research
