Selected applications of the Integrated Economic-Environmental Modeling (IEEM) framework to public policy and investment questions. Each piece presents the policy question, the analytical approach, and the empirical findings that informed government and multilateral institution decisions.
Investing in Water Quality in Uruguay’s Priority Watersheds
A US$6M IDB-financed program would boost GDP by US$748M and wealth by US$166M while avoiding 55 million tons of carbon emissions.
