Residential Heating Oil Price Monitoring Project, Minnesota: Winter 1980-81. Final Report

摘要

This paper represents the final report of the Minnesota Energy Agency on the State Residential Heating Oil Grants program sponsored by the US Department of Energy for the 1980-1981 heating season. The sampling stratification in previous winter season surveys were applied this winter. However, the reduced number of samples for this winter compared to the previous winter, caused larger differences between results of this survey and an extensive price survey conducted by the Agency. For Minnesota, the local price and supply information from the monthly surveys have been valuable in estimating increases in heating costs, especially for low income families, and any impending spot shortages. 3 figures, 4 tables.
