This note corrects an error in the analysis of Goering/Boyce (1999) and extends their results. In this way, it refutes the claim that the durability of rented products plays a decisive role for the second-best emission taxation under imperfect competition.

When subjected to a monotonically increasing deformation state, the mechanical behavior of UHMWPE is characterized by a linear elastic response followed by distributed yielding and strain hardening at large deformations. During the unloading phases of an applied cyclic deformation process, the response is characterized by nonlinear recovery driven by the release of stored internal energy. A num...
