In order to get a better understanding of the energetics of ZrO{sub 2} (zirconia) ab initio calculations with the full potential linear muffin tin orbital method (fp LMTO) have been performed on the tetragonal structure over a range of c/a and sublattice displacement. A new semi-empirical shell model is developed which makes use of Hartree-Fock calculations and includes compressible anions and quadrupolar distortions. The empirical model predicts energies for tetragonal distortion in agreement with the fp LMTO calculations. Furthermore, it enables us to understand why the seven-fold coordinated monoclinic phase is the low temperature equilibrium structure.
