Application of a time-series methodology to Federal program allocations. [Modified Box and Jenkins method]

Time-series analysis provides a useful tool in the evaluation of public policy outputs. It is shown that the general Box and Jenkins method, when extended to allow for multiple interrupts, enables researchers simultaneously to examine changes in drift and level of a series, and to select the best fit model for the series. As applied to urban renewal allocations, results show significant changes in the level of the series, corresponding to changes in party control of the Executive. No support is… more

Decision analysis: a tool to guide the R and D selection of alternative energy sources

The array of alternative energy sources which are vying for the federal government's R and D dollar is formidable when compared to the politically acceptable amount which can be used to fund the research. To guide how these funds should be dispersed, a rational, defensible procedure is needed which can repeatedly be applied as new technologies and new information become available. The procedure advanced in this paper is a decision analysis technique known as multi attribute decision analysis (M… more

Changing Western water institutions: energy's role

This paper describes the institutional mechanisms through which physical availability of water, historical pattern of water use, and unresolved water issues combine to constrain and channel the energy industry's use of water. These institutional mechanisms include the developing markets for water rights, the legal and administrative structure governing water allocation, the formation of social attitudes about water, and the political process that often implements concensus. Within this context,… more

Role of water in energy development

One consequence of the recently increasing emphasis on energy development is public concern about the adequacy of ancillary natural resources, particularly water. This concern accompanies other water-related issues such as droughts, decling water tables, and increasing urbanization. But as the relatively new user on the water scene, energy attracts a major share of public attention. The physical availabiltiy of water and the role of economics in water demand by energy are reviewed. Also describ… more

Linear-programming approach to electricity demand-curtailment planning

Curtailment planning at a generally rudimentary level has been undertaken by the governments of some twenty states. Many utilities have demand-curtailment plans, however, these are often incorporated in plans for meeting capacity shortages. In at least five states, there are apparently no curtailment plans either at the state-government level or at the utility level. Moreover, none of the existing electricity demand curtailment plans examined included an explicit statement of the planners'… more

Evaluation of resource impact factors versus social cost estimates in determining building energy performance standard levels

In order to increase the welfare of society through the implementation of a building energy-performance standard, a method is required by which the least-cost means of obtaining the desired space conditioning of a building can be estimated. In other words, a life-cycle cost model must be developed to simulate the energy-related building-design decisions that would take place if resources were being allocated efficiently. The cost-minimizing model must incorporate technically efficient conservat… more

How can energy-efficient structures compete in an inefficient energy market

The only way resources can be efficiently allocated in our market system is if prices of resources, goods, and services properly reflect their true value to society. However, because of (a) imperfections in the pricing mechanisms that currently influence private-sector decision making; (b) the difference in planning horizons between individuals and government; and (c) the external benefits that would accrue to society from energy-conscious decision making by individuals, it is apparent that the… more

Nuclear Energy Readiness Indicator Index (NERI): A benchmarking tool for assessing nuclear capacity in developing countries

Declining natural resources, rising oil prices, looming climate change and the introduction of nuclear energy partnerships, such as GNEP, have reinvigorated global interest in nuclear energy. The convergence of such issues has prompted countries to move ahead quickly to deal with the challenges that lie ahead. However, developing countries, in particular, often lack the domestic infrastructure and public support needed to implement a nuclear energy program in a safe, secure, and nonproliferatio… more
