Kolstad's (1994) model of intertemporal, competitive supply to a linear market from two distinct exhaustible resource deposits admits two different interior solutions - one with the low cost deposit "earning" the higher resource rent and the other with the low cost deposit "earning" the lower...

We solve for an S-shaped schedule for market size for a new product that undergoes gradual widespread adoption. We hypothesize that the speed of market expansion is positively related to the current profit per unit being produced. In a mature market the unit profit is relatively low.

We set out and solve a static neoclassical model with a labor/leisure choice for agents and a government sector producing a Samuelsonian public good. Numerical solutions vary considerably with the elasticity of substitution for commodities in an agent's utility function. We focus on solutions...

We take up three variants of Solow [1974], each with population change endogenous. When each model exhibits sustainability the same three conditions are satisfied: (i) investment in produced capital is funded by resource rents plus "extra" saving, (ii) "extra" saving funds the same two gaps...

We present an aggregate four good model (consumption, in- vestment and two government goods) in which the current .ows of one government good are in part pure public intermediate goods. The other public goods has "final" services for households. We are interested in a benefit approach to...

We set out a city as a price-taking exporter and importer with its own local structure (housing (land per household) and a local pure public good are produced endogenously). We impove labor efficiency in the export sector, observe a jump in the local wage, and trace the impact, particularly on...

We set out a simple four sector macro model of the economy of the Roman Empire during a period of considerable economic prosperity. Our focus is on gold coins as currency and the seignorage which the government used to fund its activities. We solve numerically for a balanced growth...

We re-visit the proposition: utility-change for the translog utility function equals the corresponding Tornqvist quantity index. We observe that the "linear" terms in the translog function must be zero for the result to obtain. We also report on the role of the assumption of homogeneity for the...
