TL;DR: The Australian Natural Disaster Resilience Index (ANDRI) as discussed by the authors takes a top-down approach using indicators derived from secondary data with national coverage and is a hierarchical design based on coping and adaptive capacities representing the potential for disaster resilience.

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects on the environment and on the economy of a carbon tax of A$23 per tonne of carbon dioxide proposed by the Australian government with, and without, a compensation policy were simulated.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyse how Australia's National Electricity Market (NEM) has responded to falling demand and significant additional installed capacity as a result of climate change-related policies and conclude that an energy-only market design, barriers to exit for incumbent plants, and time inconsistency of policy has resulted in investment in new renewable energy projects becoming largely intractable.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors build a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model incorporating many new features to deal with the issue of emissions and model the impact of carbon taxes and find that the tax burden is unequally distributed among different household groups with low-income households carrying a relatively higher burden.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new computable general equilibrium (CGE) model was used to estimate the effects of a national emissions trading scheme (ETS) on the Australian energy sector and the broader economy.
