Comprehensive Human Resources Data System is a flexible policy analysis tool which may be linked with aggregate FEA energy models, such as PIES, to provide estimates of distributional impacts for scenarios consistent with those analyzed in these other models. The policy parameters available for manipulation, either singly or in combination, include energy taxes, technological improvements in auto and appliance efficiency, thermal standards for buildings, tax rebates and other redistributive mechanisms, energy prices, and some behavioral changes such as switching commuting modes or altering the thermostat setting. This report describes the Phase I Comprehensive Human Resources Data System and its application to simulate several different energy policy scenarios, specifically results simulated for 1974 and three 1985 scenarios.
