Stock - dependent uncertainty and optimal resource exploitation
The probability that an agent takes a certain action or a certain event occurs depends often on the actions taken by some agents. If this probability depends not only on current actions but on the sum of all past actions, these stock-dependent risks imply an intertemporal effect. In the present paper, we analyse this problem using an example concerning the exploitation of a non-renewable, exhau...
متن کاملOptimal Exploitation of a Nonrenewable Resource
In this paper we study the long-term operation of an underground copper mining project. We model the project as a collection of blocks (minimal extraction units) each with its own mineral composition and extraction costs. The decision maker’s problem is to maximize the economic value of the project by controlling the sequence and rate of extraction as well as investing on costly capacity expans...
متن کاملStrategies for Resource Exploitation
In a mixed strategy, game-theoretical scenario mimicking the behaviour of fishing vessels competing for a limited renewable resource, agents following either a Collective Intelligence or a purely selfish strategy quickly outperform fully-cooperative teams as well as agents not planning for future action by acting randomly. The stable balance between fully selfish agents and the Collective Intel...
متن کاملWar and Natural Resource Exploitation
Although the relationship between natural resources and civil war has received much attention, little is known about the underlying mechanisms. Controversies and contradictions in the stylized facts persist because resource extraction is treated as exogenous while in reality fighting affects extraction. We study endogenous fighting, armament, and extraction method, speed and investment. Rapacio...
متن کاملOptimal allocation of stock levels and stochastic customer demands to a capacitated resource
This paper considers a class of stochastic resource allocation problems that requires simultaneously determining the customers that a capacitated resource must serve and the stock levels of multiple items that may be used in meeting these customers’ demands. Our model considers a reward (revenue) for serving each assigned customer, a variable cost for allocating each item to the resource, and a...
