Title: Analysis of Federal Government energy emergency programs. Energy policy study, Volume 5. AR/EI-80-05

Abstract

The economic implications of Federal Government programs for responding to an energy emergency (i.e., a sudden, temporary reduction in energy supply) are analyzed. Section 1 considers both the effects of the limited duration of an emergency and of the expectations of an emergency occurring; Section 2 describes the Government energy emergency programs and discusses their economic implications; and Section 3 sets forth the framework for an analysis of the costs and benefits resulting from enactment of the Government programs. The energy emergency programs discussed were developed in response to the 1973 Arab oil embargo. They include: use of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, enactment of price controls on crude oil and refined products, mandatory allocation of crude oil and refined products, mandatory yield controls, gasoline rationing, mandatory conservation, mandatory fuel shifts, and supply enhancement programs. Thirty-seven references are appended in a bibliography. This is the fifth volume in the Energy Information Administration's Energy Policy Study papers. 3 figures.
