EDGe$ Module #52

Closed jkneifel closed 1 year ago

Create EDGe$ Module: Things EDGe$ does that E3 currently doesn’t. For disaster related events: input is in terms of loss-reduction per disaster. The code then estimates the total losses from this value without putting it into a specific cash flow. This uses the return rate input value. Fatalities Averted: We’ve already discussed this but this value is treated as a separate Non-Monetary BCN that then has a multiplier (value of statistical life) that converts it to a dollar value. This multiplier has to be outside a specific BCN for simulation purposes. Return on investment calculation: E3 currently doesn’t have this BCNs: Has both a BCN name and a description field for detailed notes on the BCN. E3 only has the name at this point. Calculations with and without Externalities Risk preference will eventually be included
