Abstract

Harvey and I began working together at the Federal Energy Administration, the predecessor to the Energy Information Administration. Our most intense period was when we were doing research on the fly to model the impacts of policies that were under consideration when the White House Energy Policy Office was developing Carter’s National Energy Plan. I describe here the equilibrium modeling and analysis we did to estimate the impacts of the National Energy Plan and other policy proposals. Because we were in untrodden territory, we wound up with decades worth of research questions from that short, intense period. I cover some of these areas and describe some of our work together after leaving Washington, and I mention the current state of the art in these areas and the areas where our research took different paths. I also point out some of the research questions that still need answers.
