Econometric studies in energy demand and supply

Book ·
OSTI ID:5881226
Underscoring the nation's increasing energy needs, this volume of studies contributes methodologically to the econometric analysis of energy. It examines the problems of supply and demand for electricity in particular, and also for coal, natural gas, and petroleum. Econometric methods are applied to the problems of aggregate and space heating demands for fuels, the supply and demand for coal, changing economic conditions for coal extraction, and electricity costs. The volume concludes that price elasticities are high, and that energy policy should rely on the price mechanism.
