Information for energy-related environmental policy : the role of disaggregated dynamic energy demand modelling
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine whether disaggregated dynamic energy demand modelling can provide additional valuable information for the formulation of environmental policy and conclude that such models will form an increasing share of the models used for environmental forecasts and policy analysis - although the overall interest in this area of research may shift as levels of certain energy-related environmental indicators improve (e.g. carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides) and others worsen (e volatile organic compounds and PM10).
