GCAMUSAJobs: An R package for employment projections based on GCAM-USA power sector outcomes

Résumé fourni par la source

The GCAMUSAJobs R package was developed to post-process electric power projections from GCAM-USA, enabling the estimation of future power sector jobs at the state-level by generation technology and job type. GCAMUSAJobs extends GCAM-USA functionality by estimating the capacity levels of different activities (operational capacity, capacity addition, and retirement); and calculating jobs associated with those activities, including operation and maintenance (O&M), construction, and decommissioning. Additionally, this package is designed to be easily adaptable to the output of other energy system models and Integrated Assessment Models (IAMs) besides GCAM-USA.
