Documentation of the resource allocation and mine costing (RAMC) model: Methodology description

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6368855
The RAMC produces the quantity-price relationships in coal supply for 30 coal types (further distinguished between surface and deep mines) and 32 producing regions based on the 1984 EIA Demonstrated Reserve Base, engineering estimates of mining costs for various surface and underground mines, and region-specific and coal-type-specific cost elements. This model serves as a major component of the Intermediate Future Forecasting System, the National Coal Model, the International Coal Trade Model, and the Coal Supply and Transportation Model.
