Volume three presents a mathematical statement of typical equations expressing causal relations between measures of physical energy consumption and both the attributes of various social institutions and the behavior of actors in those institutions. A way of testing the proposed model with empirical data is demonstrated. National, annualized time-series data from published sources for the period from 1960 to 1974 were used, and empirical tests of the model were limited to three strategic types of energy policies: those involving fuel price controls, changes in employment rates, and changes in economic output. Appendix A presents a report by MATHTECH, Inc., Princeton, NJ entitled, Evaluation of Socio-Econometric Model of US Energy/Economic Relationships Developed by the Center for Research on the Acts of Man; Appendix B is a codebook.
