Summary: Chapter 1 is an introduction to the volume. Chapter 2 deals first with the residential and commercial sectors for which oil, natural gas, and electricity are considered. Chapter 3- "residential demand for electricity in the TVA area" analyzes that demand during 1962-72 period. Chapter 4 breaks up the demand for space heating into two components: the short-run usage function, and the long-run fuel-choice function which characterizes the appliance ownership decision. Chapter 5 analyzes the data (by distributors) considered in chapter 3. Chapter 6 is addressed to the estimation of the effects of strip-mining legislation on coal supply and mining employment in Appalachia. Chapter 7 tries to explain the wide fluctuations in inventories of coal stocks held by electric utilities. Chapter 8 stresses the important point that one cannot get an idea of economies of scale from a pure cross-sectional analysis. Chapter 9 gives a survey of recent empirical work on the effect of regulation on capital utilization by electric utilities.
