Characterizing the sustainability problem in an exhaustible resource model
The Dasgupta-Heal-Solow-Stiglitz model of capital accumulation and resource depletion poses the following sustainability problem: is it feasible to sustain indefinitely a level of consumption that is bounded away from zero? We provide a complete technological characterization of the sustainability problem in this model without reference to the time path. As a byproduct we show general existence...
متن کاملInterpreting Sustainability in Economic Terms: Dynamic Efficiency Plus Intergenerational Equity
Economists have confined the concept of ‘sustainability’ to intertemporal distributional equity. We propose a broader definition, combining dynamic efficiency and intergenerational equity, and relate it to two concepts from neoclassical economics: potential Pareto-improvements and inter-personal compensation. 2003 Elsevier Science B.V.

متن کاملSpatial and Social Equity Index for Equity Based Resource Allocation
Equity based resource allocation under budget-constrained schemes always deal with priority targeting. This mechanism requires the use of equity measurement as important input for the decision-making process. Available equity measures such as the Gini Index more focus on equality measurement, which also disregards spatial features. It is therefore insufficient to determine priority setting for ...

متن کاملSustainability and the intergenerational distribution of natural resource entitlements
The paper describes an OLG economy with a single exhaustible resource that has amenity value. The steady states of this economy form a continuum, implying pathdependency. We compare three policy scenarios; first, a ‘zero extraction’ policy of enforced conservation that avoids environmental degradation, possibly at the expense of intertemporal efficiency. Second, a ‘grandfathering’ policy that e...
