The theory of optimal forest management has been developed in terms of discrete time while a consistent continuous time version of the MitraWan model has never been developed in the literature. No specific economic reason dictates that the discrete time framework should be preferred to the continuous time one, so that it may be the technical complexity that continuous time introduces into the a...

We present a substantive and far-reaching generalization of the principal results in the economics of forestry, as formalized by Mitra and Wan (1986). Rather than a polarized dichotomy of linear and strictly concave, differentiable benefit (felicity) functions, we develop the theory in the context of functions that are supported at the golden-rule consumption and are not necessarily concave. Th...
