Coal strike impact methodologies. Technical report. [1977--1978 UMW strike]
This Technical Report presents the methodologies of two models used to evaluate the economic impacts ofthe 1977--1978 United Mine Workers of America coal strike. The first methodology, the Industrial Payrolls Model, was developed prior to the strike by the Office of Integrative Analysis. Because of sufficient inventories in the industrial sector, this model's usefulness became limited. The second methodology was developed in February 1978, when the strike was in its tenth week, by the Departments of Energy and Labor and the Council of Economic Advisors. A sample of the computer output of each of the models is included as well as the survey forms and detailed list of assumptions. The report also includes recommendations that further testing of the parameters be made of each model and planning for interagency agreements be made before the models are needed again during an energy disruption.
