Short-Term Petroleum Cost Distribution Model: Methodology Description. Technical Report

摘要

This report presents documentation for the Short-Term Petroleum Cost Distribution Model (STPCDM). STPCDM is a price markup model which permits evaluation of the impact on refined product prices of alternate assumptions, including, for example, refinery operating levels, domestic crude oil production rates, general inflation rates, taxes and changes in DOE pricing rules. The model version presented here was configured to conform with EIA's analysis 1980 Motor Gasoline Supply and Demand (AM/ES/79-12). Analysis based on this version is presented in the EIA Analysis Memorandum Motor Gasoline Prices Through 1980 Under Continued DOE Price Controls. (ERA citation 04:045901)
