Dale Jorgenson (1933-), an American economist noted for his groundbreaking research on information technology and economic growth, energy and the environment, tax policy and investment behavior, and applied econometrics. In the 1970s, he was among the first economists to explicitly and quantitatively assess the role of energy as a factor or production and as an engine of macroeconomic growth. He developed a novel database, still in use today, that enabled him and other researchers to examine the role of energy in productivity growth, the substitution possibilities among energy and other factors of production, and the effect of energy price increases on growth and productivity. Jorgenson applied this research to the assessment of various energy policy instruments.
