Energy and Environmental Policy Modeling

The primary objective of this study is to introduce a variety of recent energy-environmental modelling concepts, and to provide an overview of these modelling concepts. Another major objective of the book is the application of management science techniques to energy and environment policy issues which have expanded dramatically over recent decades; the results from these applications have become increasingly relied upon by those making energy and environmental decisions. Thus, an overview of some of the most interesting work in this field on some of the biggest contemporary policy issues is a worthy objective. In this respect, policy issues are discussed in the following conceptual modeling frameworks: end-use modelling, integrating supply and demand, aggregate energy-economy interactions, and multi-sector energy-economy interactions.
