Population growth and natural resource scar-city : long-run development under seemingly unfavourable conditions
Bretschger, Lucas - 2009
The paper develops a model with non-exponential population growth, nonrenewable natural resources, and endogenous knowledge creation to analyse substitution between primary inputs and an essential use of resources in the innovation sectors, which is generally considered as most unfavourable for...

Preservation of Agricultural Soils with Endogenous Stochastic Degradation
Bretschger, Lucas; Vinogradova, Alexandra - 2016
Soils are often subject to environmental shocks which are caused by negative extern- alities linked to overexploitation. We present a stochastic model of a dynamic agricultural economy where natural disasters are sizeable, multiple, and random. Expansion of agricultural activities raises...
