The ultimate goal of this research is the specification of improved, realistic, operational, dynamic, energy supply models. As a contribution to this overall objective, the present volume presents the theoretical framework of adaptive economics and the structure and applications of recursive programming, a methodology which has proven to be useful for adaptive economic modelling. Part I deals with adaptive economics: a general framework, methodologies, adaptive goal-adjustment models, and the theoretical link between behavioral rules and macroeconomic dynamics. Part II is devoted to recursive programming: general concepts, characteristic features, a recursive programming model of the petroleum industry, and a multisector study of resource allocation and alternative energy supplies. 收起
