 A Preliminary Analysis {World Oil Project). Cambridge, Massachusetts Institute

This paper reports on some initial results from an econometric study of 

 the world demand for energy. It examines some preliminary estimates of 

 inter-country differences in the structure of demand in the residential sector. 

 Residential demand models are designed on the assumption that consumers 

 make two decisions in purchasing fuel: (1) what fraction of their total budgets 

 will be spent on energy; and (2) which fuels to purchase. Section 2 outlines 

 specifications of various models of residential energy demand, and describes 

 the characteristics of each specification. Section 3 discusses some methodo- 

 logical issues in the estimation of energy demand models using pooled data. 

 The issues discussed include the use of purchasing power parities to make 

 international comparisons, the question of accounting for thermal efficiencies 

 in the use of energy consumption data, the formulation of an aggregate price 

 index for energy, and the use of alternative estimation methods. Section 4 

 describes some of the characteristics and limitations of the data. Section 5 

 includes the statistical results.

 Problem." Foreign Affairs, v. 54, July 197G: 764-787. 



A United States Senator examines the erosion of U.S. nonproliferation 

 policies as demonstrated by French and West German sales of nuclear fuel 

 facilities to Pakistan and Brazil. Recommends the estal)lishment of multi- 

 national enrichment plans and a shared-market arrangement covering reactor 

 sales so as to more effectively control proliferation.

"In order to prevent overdependence on imported oil in 1980 and beyond, 

 OECD countries must take positive action to expand the supply of 'con-

 World Energy Outlook concludes. The article discusses some of the problems 

 involved in the development of nuclear energy."

More than three years have passed since the petroleum crisis of 1973 

 forced the United States to confront the multifaceted challenge posed by an 

 impending imbalance between energy supply and demand. The crisis posed 

 two special problems for the West regarding the linkage between energy and 

 the security of the Free World. First, the recognition that military power is 

 sustained by the economic strength of the alliance partners and, at present, 

 is contingent upon an adequate supply of petroleum. The second centered
