WEFA Multiregional Model Project. Volume 2: the nine census region model. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5715382
;
This report describes an operational model of the United States that is disaggregated into nine regions - the census regions. This model has been provided for EPRI use as a simple aggregate framework for supplying regional economic, demographic, and energy projections and analysis. The system comprises three principal submodels. The regional macroeconomic model determines output, employment, wage rates, unemployment, and personal income. The regional energy model includes relationships for total energy consumption by industrial, residential, and commercial users, as well as transportation and electric utilities. For each sector total energy consumed is then broken down by type of fuel. Finally, the regional population model generates population estimates by age and sex, together with gross interregional migration flows. The system is designed to function in a top-down mode, linked to the detailed long-term US macroeconomic Wharton Annual Model, taking national values and control totals as exogenous inputs. At its most basic level, the Census Region Model provides a consistent regional disaggregation of a particular national forecast or policy scenario.
