This file describes the dataset used in Ou et al., "Air pollution
control strategies directly limiting national health damages in the US."

This work used the Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) with state-level
representation of the U.S. energy system (GCAM-USA). GCAM and GCAM-USA
are developed and released by the University of Maryland/Pacific Northwest
National Laboratory Joint Global Change Research Center (JGCRI). For further
details, see the GCAM documentation: jgcri.github.io/gcam-doc.
The model source code is available at github.com/JGCRI/gcam-core.

A modified version of GCAMv4.3 was used for this analysis. Source code
and input data specific for this paper are available upon request. 

This dataset contains outputs from the model and data underlying all of
the figures in the paper.

Figure 1: Figure 1 summary.xlsx
Figure 2: Figure 2 emission TS.xlsx 
Figure 3: Figure 3 energy TS.xlsx 
Figure 4: Figure 4-5 results_US_SP.R
Figure 5: Figure 4-5 results_US_SP.R
Figure 6: Figure 6 national cost benefit.xlsx and Figure 6 state cost benefit.xlsx
* the original files linked to xlsx files and R files are also included and embedded.

Additionally, the assumptions distinguishing the capital costs in the
BASE and the high renewables (HR) scenarios are provided in the .xml
files in the "add" subdirectory.
