The paper presents the evolution of models and model complexes used to study the relationship between economy, energy sector and environment; the authors characterize models that describe these relationships in exogenous form (optimization and simulation models) and endogenous form (models of economic interactions (general equilibrium models), integrated assessment models of climate change). The researchers also develop a model of economic interactions of the Far East with a detailed energy sector and propose a series of experimental calculations based on this model. It is shown that the substitution of coal with natural gas leads to not only cleaner ecology in region but also to growth of regional macroindicators. The study includes the directions for further improvement of the model.
