%I02186 The consumw’s anargy analyals rnvlronmant Kern ton, W. end Layne, L. L. EnergyPolicy, Oct. 1994, 22, (lo), 857&j. The article describes how residential energy consumers measure and analyze their own energy consumption and energy costs. Using in-depth lnterviews, the authors found more extensive data collection and analysis by residential energy consumers than has been previously documented in the energy literature. However, the conclusion consumers can draw from their analytical efforts are nstncted by the form in which they receive price and consumption data and their limited analytic capabilities. The relahve information processing stmngths of consumers are compared with those of institutions such as energy utilities, leading to the conclusion that many of the analytic tasks are currently assigned to the less efficient parties, degrading decision quality and creating a market barrier to energy conservation.Suggests a more efficient allocation of data collection analysis -2187 Damand slds mana ement: Opportunltlaa snd parapactlvoa In the Aala-Paclfk rag4 on OECD, Paris, France, 1993, 303 pp. Proceedings of conference organized by the International Energy The Japanese Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy & Korea?zs Economics Institute.

Overcomlng market 951021% bar&n or obacurlng raal costs? Nichols, A. L. Energy Policy, Oct. 1994, 22, (10). 840-847. The pa r compares two approaches to estimatin the net benefits of a deman 8”. -sule management program that subsidizes f e purchase of efficient equipment. The total resource cost (TRC) test suggests net benefits of USS6.9 million. Estimates based on consumer’s surplus yield an estimated net loss of USS6.3 million. This gap is due to differences in estimates of r to be significant participant’s net benefits. Market failures do not a and thus cannot explain much of the gap. The more ppp”* auslble explanation is that the TRC uses a lower discount rate than participants use for themselves and it omits some costs. %I02189 Economics and ratlonal conaarvstlon policy Metcalf,G. E. Energy Policy, Oct. 1994, 22, (lo), 819-825. Energy analysts have long been concerned with the apparently low level of energy-efficient investments and have suggested the presence of various market barriers and feilures that hinder investment. The concept of a barrier as defined here is some force that is working against investment in energy-efficient technologies, Market failures, on the other hand, are failures of the competitive parad@ that lead to economically inefficient outcomes. Market barriers re~uue no particular nsponse on the part of government while market fadures may call for some policy response. Tha aconomka of snargy In agriculture %I02190 Gopalakrishnan, C.

gem2193 Energy and exxwgy ?? naiysos of aelected Turkish Industrlss Oxdogan, S. and Arikol, M. Energy, Jan. 1995.20, (l), 73-80. Analyses of the Turkish food, text& and cement sectors reveal that the most efficient sectors are different on energy and exergy bases. A quantitative break-down of exergy losses with respect to process heat. space and water heating, motive power, and illumination rquirements indicates that exergy losses are mainly associated with space-, water- and process-heating. In tbc food and textile sectors, heatmg requirements with end-use temperatures below 2OOV account for more than 90% of the total thermal energy demand. In the cement sector, however, low-temperature heat demand is almost negligible. Hence, measures to decrease the first-and second-law inefficiences in these sectors may be drastically different. %I02194 Energy afflclancy atrataglaa for Thalland: The naada snd tha banaflta University Press of America, 4700 Boston Way, Lanham, MD.20706, USA, 455 pp. The conference was organized by the International Institute for Energy Conservation and United Nations Environment Programme.

It employs both top-down and bottomup analysis to study the realities of the economic, technical, environmental, social and institutional devel ments in the various regions of the world.
