Energy Production and Carbon Emissions – Research Project at UC Berkeley DATA 102 / UC Berkeley
December 31, 2024 - October 7, 2025
Investigated two research questions and presented findings about policy implications for renewable energy adoption and carbon emission reduction strategies. (1) Modeled state-level renewable energy production from state characteristics, e.g., size, temperature, political leaning, and electricity prices, using Gaussian GLM, Random Forest, and KNN – achieved the highest likelihood in GLM with 5-fold cross-validation. (2) Modeled the causal relationship between state electricity prices and carbon emissions using Stabilized Inverse Propensity Weighting with bootstrapped propensity scores – estimated an average treatment effect.
