Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contribution

Abstract

An input-output model useful in measuring energy use, efficiency of production processes, and product uses is presented. The model provides estimates of total energy and employment shifts in a variety of processes and products. Several of these demand shifts and their potential impacts are discussed. United States industry, in general, becomes more energy-intensive as it grows. The impacts of demand shifts and changing character of industry as it evolves on consumer cost, employment, and pollution should be thoroughly under- stood before policy recommendations should be initiated.
