The authors estimated air quality impacts due to residential firewood use for the year 2000 for 16 U.S. metropolitan areas. The wood usage estimates were based on price elasticities in relation to other space heating fuels, a range of future firewood prices, and an algorithm for the spatial...

A methodology for model simplification is described, which uses the pseudo-data approach and known statistical techniques. An analysis of pseudo-data generated from the Brookhaven Energy System Optimization Model (BESOM) was undertaken to determine the interrelationship of imported oil use with...

An empirical model is developed to investigate the role of energy availability and the short run impact of environmental regulations on the level and composition of output and of demand for labor. For a given structure of technology, the model yields the optimum order in which industries should...

Evolving national energy supply/demand distribution systems rely, at least in part, on quantifiable factors such as local and national environmental restrictions, resource availability (type, price, and quantity) and the associated transportation infrastructure, the amount and price of capital...
