Arranged alphabetically by subject: natural resources; utilities, electric; utilites, smart markets; and utilities, natural gas.
Material on natural resources includes proposals (mainly National Science Foundation) and research and writings dealing with issues of exhaustible resources (land, oil, and water) and resource preservation (recycling, waste accumulation, and Exxon Valdez accident assesment). Also includes material for Smith's book Economics of Natural and Exhaustible Resources.
Material on electric utilities concerns the regulation and deregulation of electric companies and consists of articles, charts, clippings, drafts, and proposals. The principal regions researched include Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States (Alaska, California, Illinois, New Mexico, and especially Arizona). The bulk of the files deals with work conducted at the Economics Science Lab, but other partners in this enterprise include the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC), Federal Energy Regulation Commission (FERC), National Economic Research Associates (NERA). Department of Energy (DOE), National Science Foundation (NSF), Goldwater Institute, and various nationalized electric companies and government agencies.
Material on smart markets concerns the network design for all utilities, but primarily electric and natural gas. Major folder groups deal with research conducted for the industry in Hungary and his book on smart markets.
Material on natural gas consists of data, drafts, and research for his work entitled "Experimental Auction Exchange for Pipeline Transmission Networks". Research was conducted in conjunction with FERC and the Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Box 174 includes unsorted material acquired through the 2013 accession.
