Documentation of the Brookhaven Energy I-O and I-O/BESOM Linkage

摘要

This paper documents the BNL input-output model and its linkage with the BNL linear activity analysis model, BESOM. Linking of the I-O and the linear programming (LP) models permits assessment of economy-wide impacts of future technological changes in both the energy sector and elsewhere in the economy as well as impacts arising from a wide range of government energy policies. This paper describes the development and structure of the current version of the BNL I-O model presently in use and the structural modifications of a capital-investment routine, and a balance-of-payments routine that have been incorporated. Also, the structure and solution techniques for the linked I-O/LP model are described. (ERA citation 04:023414)
