Heterogeneity and the fragility of the first best: Putting the “micro” in bioeconomic models of recreational resources

Fenichel, Eli P.; Abbott, Joshua K. - In: Resource and Energy Economics 36 (2014) 2, pp. 351-369

We bridge the non-market microeconomic recreational demand and bioeconomic modeling literatures by constructing a dynamic model to guide optimal management of recreational fisheries. Our model incorporates multiple forms of angler heterogeneity and directly models feedbacks between policy...

Sustainability and substitution of exhaustible natural resources

Bretschger, Lucas; Smulders, Sjak - In: Journal of Economic Dynamics and Control 36 (2012) 4, pp. 536-549

We study long-run growth in a multi-sector economy with non-renewable resource use and endogenous innovations. Unlike recent capital resource models, we find that poor input substitution need not be detrimental for sustainable growth; on the contrary, combined with resource depletion it fosters...
