Abstract

An experimental analysis is undertaken to formulate and examine a tractable national population-energy model. On the basis of plausibility arguments a mathematical representation is established that serves to describe population and per capita energy consumption in a coupled dynamic relationship. The conceptual basis of the model is tested numerically with the help of historical data on distinct national population-energy patterns. The structural form of the model and its limitations are further examined and extensions are suggested.
