Infinite horizon optimality criteria for equipment replacement under technological change
We consider the problem of optimally acquiring and retiring assets that are undergoing technological change over an unbounded horizon. The allowance for technological change prevents one from adopting the classic repeated-plant assumption that future replacements will be identical in costs to current asset contenders, thus confronting one with a non-stationary infinite horizon problem to solve....
متن کاملA paradox in equipment replacement under technological improvement
It is commonly assumed that an acceleration in technological improvement should result in a more rapid introduction of new technology. Under a simple technological change model of a constant factor improvement in equipment costs per period, we show that, paradoxically, the effect is to optimally delay the introduction of new technology.
متن کاملGreen renewal: incorporating environmental factors in equipment replacement decisions under technological change
Equipment replacement is a fact of life in every industrial setting, and this paper seeks to answer the question: How can firms and policy makers effectively balance environmental and economic concerns with respect to replacement decisions? A replacement model which includes both economic and environmental factors is presented. One must decide whether to keep the existing technology, upgrade to...
متن کاملMaintenance and replacement policies under technological obsolescence
The technological obsolescence of a unit is characterized by the existence of challenger units displaying identical functionalities, but with higher performances. This paper aims to define and model in a realistic way, possible maintenance policies of a system including replacement strategies when one type of challenger unit is available. The comparison of these possible strategies is performed...
متن کاملInduced technological change under carbon taxes
We study changes in fossil fuel and non-fossil energy use and carbon dioxide emissions induced by carbon taxes. We develop a partial energy equilibrium model with capital and labor as production factors, and endogenous technological change through learning by doing and learning through research, distinguishing between private and public innovations. Our model reproduces the learning curves typi...
