| Abstract: | This article presents a modeling framework enhancing the ability to analyze the implications of policy for future sustainability of industrial systems. Quantified is the relationship btw. physical input and waste flows, capital vintage, and investment behaviour in the United Stetes (U.S.) pulp and paper industry. A regional vintage model is developed, simultaneously incorporating investment decisions, vintage structure of the capital stock, and physical material and energy flows, in addition to paper demand. The results show the economic and physical inter-dependence btw. material and energy flows and the central role of energy prices in decision making. |
