註釋Starting in 2022, Pennsylvania is expected to join the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), a regional cap and trade system that covers greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from the electric power sector, encompassing 11 states in the northeastern United States. Changes in GHG emissions from Pennsylvania's entry into RGGI also alter the spatial release of other regional and local air pollutants, such as Particulate Matter (PM) 2.5, SO2, NOx, NH3, and Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) which have the potential to generate substantial health co-benefits. This paper evaluates the external health co-benefits from Pennsylvania's entry into RGGI in 2022. To do so, I first use changes in electric generation throughout PJM predicted using the RGGI + PJM Policy Analysis Model (RPAM) from Pennsylvania's entry into RGGI to calculate changes in source air pollutants. I then use these as inputs into the Air Pollution Emission Experiments and Policy (AP3) model which is used to predict the spatial dispersion of regional and local air pollutants and resulting changes in external damages from Pennsylvania's entry into RGGI.
