The International Energy Workshop (IEW) is an expanding network of analysts concerned with international energy issues. Jointly created in  1981 by IIASA and Stanford University, the IEW aims to compare published energy projections and to understand the reasons for their divergence. The Workshop process includes iterative polling of projections of crude oil prices, economic growth, primary energy consumption and production, and energy trade. Successive meetings assess the implications of the comparative projections in the presence of most of the poll respondents. 

This report describes the results of the 1983 IEW poll, which served as background to the second meeting of the IEW held at IIASA in June 1983.
