An economic model of oil reserves additions: Application to US data

Farzin, Yeganeh Hossein - 1998

Departing from Hotelling's assumption of fixed and known reserves, in this paper I develop an economic model of additions to proven reserves that explicitly incorporates the effects of expected resource price, cumulative reserves development, and technological progress on reserves additions. The...

Climate Policy and the Optimal Extraction of High- and Low-Carbon Fossil Fuels

van der Werf, Edwin; Smulders, Sjak - 2007

We study how restricting CO2 emissions affects resource prices and depletion over time. We use a Hotelling-style model with two non-renewable fossil fuels that differ in their carbon content (e.g. coal and natural gas) and in addition are imperfect substitutes in final good production. We show...

Sustainability and Hamiltonian value

Farzin, Y. Hossein - 2002

The relationships among the Hamiltonian, NNP, and the level of sustainable consumption/utility have been widely misunderstood. This paper dispels the misconceptions and provides further new insight into these relationships. We show generally that for autonomous dynamic optimizing economies, a...

Production Functions for Climate Policy Modeling: An Empirical Analysis

van der Werf, Edwin - 2007

Quantitative models for climate policy modeling differ in the production structure used and in the sizes of the elasticities of substitution. The empirical foundation for both is generally lacking. This paper estimates the parameters of two-level CES production functions with capital, labour and...

How Substitutable is Natural Capital?

Markandya, Anil; Pedroso, S. - 2005

One of the recurring themes in the sustainability literature has been the legitimacy of using an economic framework to account for natural resources. This paper examines the potential for substituting between different inputs in the generation of income, where the inputs include natural...

A Role for Instructions

Valsecchi, Irene - 2005

The paper is concerned with instructions as a way of setting premises for subsequent decisions in models of teams à la Marschak-Radner, under information diversification. The paper suggests that instructions can bridge people's differences in knowledge: they do not require mutual understanding...

Hormone beefs, chloridric chicken and international trade: Can scientific uncertainty be an informational barrier to trade?

Calzolari, Giacomo; Immordino, Giovanni - 2000

We study international trade of innovative goods subject to scientific uncertainty on consumers' health effects. Trade of these goods is often at the centre of international disputes. We show that a new trade protectionism may arise because of the scientific uncertainty. A free riding effect is...
