The Dynamics of Energy Systems and the Logistic Substitution Model
Marchetti, C., and Nakicenovic, N., 1979 RR-79-13, International Institute for Applied Systems Analysis, Laxenburg, Austria Abstract This work is dedicated to the empirical testing and theoretical formulation of an invariant, the logistic learning curve, as it applies to the structural evolution of energy systems and systems related to energy, such as coal mining. The great success of the model in organizing past data, and the insensitivity to major political and economic perturbations of the structures obtained seem to lend great predictive power to this invariant.
