1.6. Application of models in the process of legislation

John P. Weyant

Energy, 1990, vol. 15, issue 3, 187-201

Abstract: To what extent have quantitative models been used in the formulation of policy? The author addresses this question by examining two issues confronted by the Ninety-fourth Congress, oil price decontrol and synthetic fuels commercialization. He describes the influence of results from the large-scale models used to analyze the proposed policies and identifies conditions that apparently accounted for the successful use of these models.
