      abstract = {The goal of this paper is to quantify health benefits from  reduction in air pollutants due to imposition of carbon  tax. The model used for this analysis is the Applied  Dynamic Analysis of the Global Economy (ADAGE) model, a  recursive dynamic, multi-region, and multi-sector  computable general equilibrium model. The model has rich  details in energy, transportation, agriculture, biofuel,  and land. ADAGE contains greenhouse gases (GHG) accounting  (carbon dioxide, CO2; methane, CH4; nitrous oxide, N2O;  hydrofluorocarbons, HFCs; perfluorocarbons, PFCs; and  sulfur hexafluoride, SF6). For this study, we include air  pollutants into ADAGE. The data for global emissions of air  pollutants come from the European Commission Joint Research  Center. The global anthropogenic emission inventory reports  data for several air pollutants (SO2, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3)  including detailed information on particulates (PM10,  PM2.5, BC, and OC) for the reference year 2010. The  information about emissions in the global emissions  inventory was disaggregated by the corresponding sector and  source in ADAGE. A set of carbon price scenarios is used to  represent our environmental policies to mitigate climate  change and promote the expansion of alternative fuel  vehicles. We expect these scenarios could provide results  on how alternative fuel vehicles compete with each other as  well as with conventional fuel vehicles and, more  importantly, the impact on overall GHG emissions as well as  air pollutant emissions under each of these carbon price  scenarios. To quantify the health benefits of the air  pollution reductions, we used the EPA’s Environmental  Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP) for Global  Health Impact Analysis. The BenMAP open domain software is  a useful tool to conduct a “damage function” approach to  relate anthropogenic air pollution to health outcomes, such  as premature deaths due to exposure to air pollutants.},
