The last twenty years have seen an increase in modeling methodologies and forecasting exercises in which the models have become increasingly complex and the forecasts more and more long-term. Focusing on energy issues, this book examines the process of model building and forecasting in the United States, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, and Great Britain to illustrate the many forces that shape energy models and forecasts.
