With Karl's permission, I have uploaded his analysis to http://www.ibiblio.org/tcrp/econ/20081014/Feedback_Effects_on_Short_to_Medium_Term_Oil_Prices.pdf A piece describing the methodology used in the analysis can be found at http://www.ibiblio.org/tcrp/econ/20081014/Systems_Thinking_for_Problem_Solvers.pdf The two files can be downloaded together from http://ibiblio.org/tcrp/econ/20081014/20081014north.zip Jon _______________________________________________ For more information about sustainability in the Tompkins County area, please visit: http://www.sustainabletompkins.org/ RSS, archives, subscription & listserv information for: [email protected] http://lists.mutualaid.org/mailman/listinfo/sustainabletompkins free hosting by http://www.mutualaid.org
