Competing for endogenous Information in an Irreversible Environmental Resource Problem: a Game-Theoretic Analysis
Abstract The paper analyzes strategic behavior in a two-stage environmental choice problem under di¤erent information scenarios. Given uncertainty about environmental cost and irreversibility of development, learning without destroyingemerges from strategic competition when information is endogenous and publicly available. This happens since agents trade o¤ the higher payo¤of being the rst-m...
متن کاملA dynamic programming approach for solving nonlinear knapsack problems
Nonlinear Knapsack Problems (NKP) are the alternative formulation for the multiple-choice knapsack problems. A powerful approach for solving NKP is dynamic programming which may obtain the global op-timal solution even in the case of discrete solution space for these problems. Despite the power of this solu-tion approach, it computationally performs very slowly when the solution space of the pr...
متن کاملTechnology Adoption under Relative Factor Price Uncertainty: The Putty-Clay Investment Model
A plant has more flexibility in choosing among different technologies before undertaking an investment than after installing a specific machine. This paper argues that the irreversibility of factor intensity choice may play an important role in explaining the dynamics of investment in the presence of relative factor price uncertainty. A higher degree of irreversibility in the choice of factor i...
متن کاملIrreversibility and Restoration in Natural Resource Development
We extend Real Option Theory to evaluate natural resource development projects that may bring negative net bene ts and require costly restoration. Based on a new concept, irreversibility cost, we show that the degree of irreversibility becomes an endogenous choice, rather than an exogenously given economic constraint. The xed cost of restoration has continuous impacts, over and above the widely...
متن کاملInfluences of Temperature, Concentration and Shear Rate on Rheological Behavior of Nanofluid: An Experimental Study with Al2O3-MWCNT/10W40 Hybrid Nano-Lubricant
In this experimental study, the rheological behavior of Al2O3-MWCNT (90%:10%)/10W40 hybrid nano-lubricant has been determined at the temperature range of 5°C to 55°C. Al2O3 nanoparticles (average size of 50 nm) and MWCNTs (inner and outer diameter of 2-6 nm and 5-20 nm, respectively) were dispersed in engine oil (10W40) to prepare 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2...
