An Economic-Linear Programming Model of the U.S. Petroleum Refining Industry
美国石油炼制业的经济—线性规划模型
The linking of statistically estimated relationships with an engineering linear programming model offers important potentials for simulation and forecasting models of industries. This article describes such a model of the U.S. petroleum refining industry. Econometric techniques are used to specify product demands, prices, and some technical adjustments. A linear programming specification of the production function, assuming cost minimization, determines crude oil input…
