The paper provides a continuous-time version of the discrete-time Mitra–Wan model of optimal forest management, where trees are harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. The available trees and the other parameters of the problem vary continuously with...

Segmentation is a core strategy in modern marketing and age-specific segmentation, which is based on the age of the consumers, is very common in practice. A characteristic of age-specific segmentation is the change of the segments composition during time, which may be studied only using dynamic...

The theory of monotone comparative statics and supermodular games is presented as the appropriate tool to model complementarities. The approach, which has not yet been fully incorporated into the standard toolbox of researchers, makes the analysis intuitive and simple, helps in deriving new...

Empirical data show during the historical process of economic development profound structural changes in economy. One of the most important movements is from stages where the so-called tangible investments are predominant to those where intangible investments become predominant. Applying some...

The paper concerns the study of equilibrium points, or steady states, of economic systems arising in modelling optimal investment with vintage capital, namely, systems where all key variables (capitals, investments, prices) are indexed not only by time τ but also by age s. Capital accumulation...

The paper provides a continuous time version of the well known discrete time Mitra-Wan model of optimal forest management, where a forest is harvested to maximize the utility of timber flow over an infinite time horizon. Besides varying with time, the state variable (describing available trees)...

This paper provides a continuous-time "Ricardian" model of forestry, where, in response to an increase in timber demand, forest cultivation is progressively intensified on the most fertile lands and/or extended to less fertile qualities of lands. It is shown that, at a given level of the rate of...

This paper presents a simple Ramsey-type model example where two infinitely-living agents have same utility function except for time preference, and shows that equilibrium is indeterminate that is to be interpreted as being non-existent. The issues regarding New Keynesian transversality...

In many spatial resource models it is assumed that the agent is able to determine the harvesting activity over the complete spatial domain. However, agents frequently have only access to a resource at particular locations at which the moving biomass, such as fish or game, may be caught or...
