On Conservation of Renewable Resources with Stock-Dependent Return and Nonconcave Production
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper analyzes conservation and extinction of renewable resources when the production function is nonconcave and the return function depends on consumption and the resource stock. The paper focuses on the efficiency of global conservation, a safe standard of conservation, and extinction. Which outcome obtains depends on the marginal rate of substitution between investment and the stock in addition to the discount factor and the marginal productivity of the resource. Conservation may be efficient even if the discounted intrinsic growth rate of the resource is less than 1. Journal of Economic Literature Classification Numbers: D90, Q20. 1996 Academic Press, Inc.

On the Economically Optimal Exploitation of a Renewable Resource: The Case of a Convex Environment and a Convex Return Function
We investigate optimal policies for the exploitation of a renewable resource subject to a concave growth function and a convex return function. We prove an important result on the elasticity of the objective function and apply it to give a characterization of the optimal harvesting paths in this class of models. In particular, we derive conditions such that all optimal programs converge to a fi...
متن کاملA Stackelberg Game Model of Trade in Renewable Resources with Competitive Sellers
We model international trade in renewable resources between a single buyer and competitive sellers as a Stackelberg differential game. The buyer uses unit and ad valorem tariffs to indirectly encourage conservation of the renewable resource under study. First, we show that the efficacy of these trade policy instruments in promoting conservation depends fundamentally on whether harvesting costs ...

متن کاملDetermination of Energy Production Function in Irrigated Wheat of Isfahan Province
Today, the agricultural sector is heavily dependent on energy to meet the growing demand of worldchr('39')s growing population food. This study aims to determine energy indices and equations based on its energy consumption and production. 380 farmers out of total number of 31190 irrigated wheat farmers of Isfahan were selected across the 24 borough of the province (based on Cochranchr('39')s r...
متن کاملEconomic Production Quantity Models with Shortage, Price and Stock-Dependent Demand for Deteriorating Items
This investigation presents an economic production quantity (EPQ) model for deteriorating items with stock-dependent demand and shortages. It is assumed that a constant fraction of the on-hand inventory deteriorates and demand rate depends upon the amount of the stock level. Expression for various optimal indices as well as cost analysis are provided. By taking numerical illustration, sensitivi...
