Growth on a finite planet: resources, technology and population in the long run
We study the interactions between technological change, resource scarcity and population dynamics in a Schumpeterian model with endogenous fertility. We find a steady state in which population is constant and determined by resource scarcity while income grows exponentially. If labor and resources are substitutes in production, income and fertility dynamics are stable and the steady state is the...
متن کاملGames with finite resources
Games with Finite Resources as defined by Gale (1957) are two-person zerosum N -stage games in which each player has N resources and may use each resource once and only once in the N stages. Gale’s theorem on these games is generalized in several directions. First the payoff is allowed to be any symmetric function of the stage payoffs. Second, the players are allowed some latitude in choosing w...
متن کاملQuantum coding with finite resources.
The quantum capacity of a memoryless channel determines the maximal rate at which we can communicate reliably over asymptotically many uses of the channel. Here we illustrate that this asymptotic characterization is insufficient in practical scenarios where decoherence severely limits our ability to manipulate large quantum systems in the encoder and decoder. In practical settings, we should in...
متن کاملPerfectionists in a World of Finite Resources
I’VE BEEN TOLD that I can be a perfectionist—but I’m working on that and expect that I can improve myself. In the meantime, there are just so many things that seem to need doing, and they all seem to be things that a well-rounded person should be able to do. Find me at a concert, and I’ll be beating myself up for not knowing how to play a musical instrument. Find me on travel, and I’ll be regre...
متن کاملMonetary and Fiscal Policies for a Finite Planet
Current macroeconomic policy promotes continuous economic growth. Unemployment, poverty and debt are associated with insufficient growth. Economic activity depends upon the transformation of natural materials, ultimately returning to the environment as waste. Current levels of economic throughput exceed the planet‘s carrying capacity. As a result of poorly constructed economic institutions, soc...
