From page 836...
... A second generic approach draws on programming or optimization models of the energy sector. In this approach, the energy sector or the economy is represented in terms of technological activities such as demand for space heating or transportation services.
From page 837...
... A second important difference between the Nordhaus (1991) survey and this report is that the survey estimates the cost function for reducing greenhouse gas emissions beginning from the point at which all the "negativecost" options have been employed.
From page 838...
... Finally, Figure R.3 shows a total cost function derived from the survey. The estimates are the total cost of different reductions of greenhouse gases at 1989 levels of world economic activity and industrial mix.
