Sentences with phrase «modeled damage estimates»

The estimates are likely derived from modeled damage estimates such as those used by the World Bank, rather than by aggregating specific activities.

Not exact matches

Microsimulation is a modeling approach that is well - suited to estimating premiums and future flood damage claims at the individual policyholder level, the report says.

But the US Department of Energy — whose research facilities sustained an estimated $ 1 million of damage in the earthquake — concluded that it actually enhanced the site's suitability, because seismologists were able to verify computer models about the seismological stability of the mountain and its environs they had generated from historical data.

The model's damage estimates for storms of Sandy's size matched what actually occurred, according to the researchers.

«Of the seven car - SUV pairs we tested, we can't point to a single one as a model of compatibility because combined damage estimates run into the thousands of dollars for even the best performers,» said Nolan.

While damage estimates are difficult, FICO — creator of the most commonly used scoring model — leaves no doubt about its importance: Among the FICO score's components, credit utilization falls into the «amounts owed» category, which accounts for 30 percent of that score.

The models used to calculate a Social Cost of Carbon for use in estimating the benefits of reducing carbon emissions fall far short of including a wide range of expected damages from global climate disruption.

[2] The damage functions are the very core of the models, and the models can not provide meaningful SCC estimates without theoretically and empirically sound damage functions.

Others have ably pointed out the fundamental and fatal flaws in the damage functions of the computer models used to estimate the SCC.

And James Hansen's papers have gotten more worrisome as the models used decades ago can be compared with actual results, they have found models consistently under estimated the damages CO2 is doing.

Even some proponents of policies to cut carbon dioxide emissions have pointed out the fatal flaws, particularly in the way the statistical models calculate damages from CO2 in estimating the SCC.

Climate models in 2005 estimated a 30 % increase in wind damage from hurricanes, and more / larger hurricanes.

Existing estimates are based not on testable (let alone tested) economic models of how changes in climate generate economic costs, but on conjecture, guesswork, and sometimes simply by asking «experts» — the people who construct SCC estimates — what they think the damages from climate change might be.»

How can the characterization of damages used to estimate the SCC be improved over the next 1 - 3 years through incorporation of existing evidence or changes to modeling approaches?

The risk assessment framework comprises hydrological modelling, threshold - based evaluation of extreme event magnitude and frequency, fully integrated 2D flood hazard mapping, updated exposure maps, country - specific depth - damage functions and improved vulnerability information to estimate current and future flood risk.

Output flood extent and depths are coupled with an impact model based on population density and depth - damage relations to estimate PA and ED for selected return periods.

Note for Alarmists: there is no point saying the IAMs say so or SCC so estimated $ 37 / t CO2 or whatever unless you can show the empirical evidence to calibrate the damage functions used in the IAMs or other models.

Looking ahead, I collaborated with Yale economist Robert Mendelsohn and his colleagues in estimating global hurricane damage changes through the year 2100, based on hurricanes «downscaled» from four climate models.

As with the global SC - CO2 estimates, the domestic SC - CO2 increases over time because future emissions are expected to produce larger incremental damages as physical and economic systems become more stressed in response to greater climatic change, and because GDP is growing over time and many damage categories are modeled as proportional to gross GDP.

Thus, all the statements regarding economic modelling and damage estimates are very much hedged and often rather vague.

Econometric models have produced estimates of $ 50 to $ 100 per ton of avoided carbon emissions — savings from reductions in anticipated sea - level rise, agricultural damage, and other damages.
