The energy data bases and analytical models used in the cousre of policy analyses are also described. The major ongoing activities of the Center include: analysis of energy-economic relationships; regional energy and environmental policy; comparative health effects of alternative energy systems; technology assessment and energy R and D priorities; development of energy-economic-environmental models and data bases; R and D strategies for the International Energy Agency; and energy technologies for developing countries. The multidisciplinary approach used in the Center and the close interaction with other analytical groups in universities and industry provide a unique perspective on the energy situation. This perspective is given emphasis in the 1978 highlights report.
