Report of an econometric study of the energy sector of Alabama
The purposes of the research project are: the collection of enrgy-related economic data, the estimation of relationships among energy demand and supply and the Alabama economy, and the development of the capability to simulate the effects of alternative developments in the energy sector upon the state's economy. An overview of alternative economic models that are widely used for forecasting and simulation purposes is presented and the Alabama Econometric Model is described. Two examples of simulation models of Alabama coal production and some results are given, followed by the presentation of several simulations of Alabama energy use. Some possible applications of the models that have been developed and future research projects are described. The appendix presents the data used to estimate the models constructed. (MCW)
