Perspectives on resource-policy modeling: energy and minerals
- eds.
Thirteen essays and a panel discussion on resource-policy modeling demonstrate the degree to which economic modeling is being applied to energy decision making. Based on the International Seminar on Resource Policy Modeling held in Herzlia, Israel, in December 1980, the essays include: (1) a description and analysis of energy-economy interactions, process analysis, econometric estimation, and input-output techniques, with examples from the US, Canada, and Israel; (2) demand estimation, pricing policies, and investment planning of the electricity sector; (3) a description and applications of mineral-supply models covering mineral-supply functions, resource depletion, cost of minerals, and problems concerning government regulations of the US coal industry; and (4) an overview of the energy-related decision-making process, including a discussion of the role of models and modelers in policy formulation. 212 references, 90 figures, 11 tables.
