Optimal 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 کاملThe tropical rain forest: a nonrenewable resource.
On the other hand, it has often been stated that the tropical rain forests (tall evergreen forests in tropical warm and humid regions) around the world must be protected and conserved for the future generations (1). It has also been stated that it is most important that knowledge about the structure, diversity, and function of these ecosystems has priority in future biological research (2). Unf...
متن کاملMarket Power in Nonrenewable Resource Markets: An Empirical Dynamic Model
This paper estimates a dynamic model of the world markets for five nonrenewable resources over the period 1970-2004 and tests for market power in each of these markets. In particular, for each nonrenewable resource, we test whether the countries supplying the nonrenewable resource behaved as price-takers or oligopolists. The results show that during the study period the world markets for copper...
متن کاملEconomic Growth with a Nonrenewable Resource
This paper adds a nonrenewable resource to capital and labor in the neoclassical growth model. The nonrenewable resource introduces its depletion dynamics and expands the influence of input substitution on the growth path. Optimal depletion implies a rising resource price but investment or labor growth may raise extraction along the growth curve. Substitution between inputs plays a critical rol...
متن کاملExtracting dynamical behaviour via Markov models
Ulam's method of discretising the dynamics of a smooth deterministic system to produce a nite state Markov chain approximation has been in use for over two decades. We review what can be done with the constructions, in the sense of how various dy-namical indicators and behaviour can be numerically extracted.
