Browne, T E

The Electric Power Research Institute's Program is designed to forecast coal supplies in terms of the relationships between coal prices and coal production levels. Examples of underground and surface mining process models are described in which all mining and coal preparation cost are included, while acquisition, royalty, severance tax, and similar costs are excluded. These models are supplemented by mathematical programing, econometric, and electric models to forecast coal supplies, but production uncertainties will remain in the areas of factor input, resource size and availability, and the environmental impacts and regulatory responses.
