Rationale

Climate debates consistently called for just transition and green job creation. CCS debate proposed retraining programs for displaced workers. Biodiversity debate called for investment in rural infrastructure and clean economy. Research spending drives innovation index which feeds productivity growth. Chain: science_research_spending -> innovation_index (+0.25, d8), clean_energy_employment -> gdp_growth (+0.05, d4).

Details

Epoch: 69

Domain: economic

Fiscal cost estimate (LLM): $4.00B CAD

Structural estimate (RIPPLE): +$45.73B CAD net (v3-bfs-signed depth=2, decay=0.5/hop; diverges)

Top RIPPLE cost paths
  • +$37.26B → consumer_spending (Consumer Spending Growth) via workforce_productivity
  • +$3.31B → canada_health_transfer (Canada Health Transfer (CHT)) via gdp_growth
  • +$2.79B → healthcare_spending (Healthcare Spending) via research_and_development
  • +$1.26B → education_spending (Education Spending) via research_and_development

Causal effects: 2 downstream variables affected (0 immediate)

Divergence after: 109.068

Variable changes

  • productivity_growth: 1.48 → 1.8
  • workforce_productivity: 107.42 → 115
  • science_research_spending: 12 → 16

Proposed policy move

productivity_growth: 1.48 → 1.8 (▲ 0.32)
workforce_productivity: 107.42 → 115 (▲ 7.58)
science_research_spending: 12 → 16 (▲ 4)

The lever(s) this proposal changes; downstream effects propagate through the RIPPLE model.
