Eight papers describe innovations in economic growth analysis that account for materials and energy inputs. In contrast, earlier analyses focused on capital and labor. The authors disagree on the significance of conservation and renewable resources, but there is broad agreement on the role of coal in meeting world energy needs for several decades. Their analyses consider the effect of prices on resource choices and substitution, the resource and environmental implications of facility siting and resource development, a variety of legal complications, combinations of energy models, measurements of technological change in manufacturing, and tests of economic rents in industry. A separate abstract was prepared for each of the eight papers selected for the Energy Data Base. An introductory chapter by the editor summarizes major themes in the papers and identifies areas of agreement and disagreement.
