Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to analyze the impact of various policy decisions on the future development of the U.S. coal industry. Specifically, the economic consequences for the coal industry of imposing alternative sulfur dioxide emission standards on coal-burning facilities and the regional reallocations of coal production that are necessary to meet projected growth in demand are analyzed.
