Presents the issues, institutions and people associated with the energy and mineral resources of the outer continental shelf of the US which is leased to oil and gas industries. It illustrates the controversy surrounding the leasing of these lands by demonstrating how policy analysis, using modern quantitative methods, provides guidance on issues such as government revenue, hazards to the environment and supply of energy. It also highlights, through extensive examples, the usefulness of quantitative policy analysis, as well as using interviews with high-ranking officials in the Minerals Management Service.
