Specialization and Nonrenewable Resources
The one-demand Hotelling model fails to explain the observed specialization of nonrenewable resources. We develop a model with multiple demands and resources to show that specialization of resources according to demand is driven by Ricardian comparative advantage while the order of resource use over time is determined by Ricardian absolute advantage. An abundant resource with absolute advantage...
متن کاملEconomic growth and transitions between renewable and nonrenewable energy resources
We study transitions between nonrenewable and renewable energy forms at di!erent development stages of an economy. It is shown that in the historical context the emphasis on energy production may evolve from renewables to nonrenewables and back to renewables. Typically both energy forms are used simultaneously. Along the equilibrium path, nonrenewable resource consumption may increase and their...
متن کاملNanotechnology Safety Resources
Because of their tiny size, they can get deep into the lungs and, once in the bloodstream, may be able to cross the blood-brain barrier. Particles deposited in the nasal region may be able to enter the brain by translocation along the olfactory nerve. Particles, especially composites, may be able to penetrate the skin, and even some protective equipment. The smaller the particle, the more likel...
متن کاملThe Heating of the ICM: Energy Crisis and viable solutions
X–ray observations indicate that non–gravitational processes play a key role in the thermodynamics of the Intra Cluster Medium (ICM). The effect of non–gravitational processes is imprinted in the ICM as an entropy minimum, whose effects are visible in the Luminosity– Temperature relation and in the Entropy–Temperature relation. However, the X–ray emission alone cannot discriminate between diffe...
متن کاملThe Real , Real Price of Nonrenewable Resources : Copper 1870 - 2000
Over the past 40 years economists have devoted considerable effort to estimating long-run trends in real commodity prices. The results indicate that the real prices for many commodities have fallen, suggesting to the surprise of many that resource scarcity is declining over time. Almost all of this work, however, uses the U.S. producer price index or other standard price deflators, which recent...
