Estimating the Regional Economic Impacts of Solar-Energy Developments with Linked Input-Output and Econometric Models

摘要

Developments in five solar technologies for the residential and commercial market sectors are emphasized: solar water heating; solar water and space heating; solar cooling, water, and space heating; passive; and photovoltaics. This study adapts two regional economic models to provide estimates of the regional economic models to provide estimates of the regional economic impacts of solar energy development during the next decade, and then evaluates the reasonableness of these impact estimates.
