The Alberta Dilemma: Optimal Sharing of a Water Resource by an Agricultural and an Oil Sector
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2005)The purpose of this paper is to characterize the optimal time paths of production and water usage by an agricultural and an oil sector that have to share a limited water resource. We show that for any given water stock, if the oil stock is sufficiently ... -
Capital Income Taxation, Depletion, Allowances and Non-Renewable Resource Extraction
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1984)Dans Cet Article, Nous Etudions les Distorsions Que Cause L'impot Sur le Revenu des Societes Dans le Profil de Production des Firmes Extractives et Dans L'allocation des Ressources Entre les Secteurs D'extraction et les Autres Secteurs Soumis a L'impot ... -
The Economic Dynamics of Antibiotic Efficacy under Open Access

The Economics of Oil, Biofuel and Food Commodities
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2011-02-06)Nous étudions l'effet sur le marché des aliments de l'introduction sur le marché de l'énergie de biocarburants, comme substitut aux combustibles fossiles. Nous supposons une économie où cohabitent sur le marché de l'énergie un cartel pétrolier et une ... -
The Effects of Periodic Quotas Limiting the Stock of Imports of Durables
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2002)Analyses of trade quotas typically assume that the quota restricts the flow of some nondurable good. Many real-world quotas, however, restrict the stock of durable imports. We consider the cases where (1) anyone is free to export against such quotas and ... -
The Effects of the Length of the Period of Commitment on the Size of Stable International Environmental Agreements
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2009-12)This paper extends the standard model of self-enforcing dynamic international environmental agreements by allowing the length of the period of commitment of such agreements to vary as a parameter. It analyzes the pattern of behavior of the size of ... -
The Efficient Use of Multiple Sources of a Nonrenewable Resource under Supply Cost Uncertainty
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2008-03)Uncertainties as to future supply costs of nonrenewable natural resources, such as oil and gas, raise the issue of the choice of supply sources. In a perfectly deterministic world, an efficient use of multiple sources of supply requires that any given ... -
The hotelling model with multiple demands
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-10)The purpose of this chapter is to provide an elementary introduction to the non-renewable resource model with multiple demand curves. The theoretical literature following Hotelling (1931) assumed that all energy needs are satisfied by one type of ... -
The Impact of Recycling on the Long-Run Stock of Trees
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2009-08)Interest in recycling of forest products has grown in recent years, one of the goals being to conserve the stock of trees or possibly increase it to compensate for positive externalities generated by the forest and neglected by the market. This paper ... -
Intertemporal and Spatial Depletion of Landfills
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)This paper generalizes Hotelling's (1931) theory of nonrenewable resources to situations where resource pools and their users are distributed spacially. Extraction and transport costs are assumed to be linear in the rate of extraction, but utilization ... -
On Limits to the Use of Linear Markov Strategies in Common Property Natural Resource Games
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2005)We derive conditions that must be satisfied by the primitives of the problem in order for an equilibrium in linear Markov strategies to exist in some common property natural resource differential games. These conditions impose restrictions on the ... -
On the Effects of Mergers on Equilibrium Outcomes in a Common Property Renewable Asset Oligopoly
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-11)This paper examines a dynamic game of exploitation of a common pool of some renewable asset by agents that sell the result of their exploitation on an oligopolistic market. A Markov Perfect Nash Equilibrium of the game is used to analyze the effects ... -
On the Optimal Order of Natural Resource Use When the Capacity of the Inexhaustible Substitute is Limited
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1996)Consider a general equilibrium framework where the marginal cost of extraction from several deposits of an exhaustible resource is constant in terms of an inexhaustible perfect substitute and differs between deposits. the instantaneous rate of production ... -
On the Profitability of Production Constraints in a Dynamic Natural Resource Oligopoly
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)Static oligopoly analysis predicts that if a single firm in Cournot equilibrium were to be constrained to contract its production marginally, its profits would fall. on the other hand, if all the firms were simultaneously constrained to reduce their ... -
Private Storage of Common Property
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 1997)This paper examines a characteristic of common property problems unmodeled in the published literature: Extracted common reserves are aften stored privately rather than immediately. We examine the positive and normative effects of such storage. -
The Quest for Hegemony Among Countries and Global Pollution
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2010-01)This paper builds on the assumption that countries behave in such a way as to improve, via their economic strength, the probability that they will attain the hegemonic position on the world stage. The quest for hegemony is modeled as a game, with ... -
Some effects of asymmetries in a common pool natural resource oligopoly
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2012-08)Nous envisageons le cas d'une ressource naturelle renouvelable exploitée en commun par des firmes qui se concurrencent à la fois dans le marché du produit et dans l'exploitation de la ressource. Nous montrons que l'introduction de la moindre différence ... -
The Taxation of Nonrenewable Natural Resources
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2013-10)We provide an analytical overview of the distortionary eff ects of some common forms of taxes faced by the nonrenewable resources sector of the economy. In the category of taxes meant speci fically to capture the resource rent, we look at a speci c ... -
Temporary Natural Resource Cartels
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2004)We analyze the behavior of a nonrenewable resource cartel that anticipates being forced, at some date in the future, to break-up into an oligopolistic market in which its members will then have to compete as rivals. Under reasonable assumptions about ... -
Trade Liberalization and the Profitability of Domestic Mergers
(Université de Montréal. Département de sciences économiques., 2001)It is often thought that a tariff reduction, by opening up the domestic market to foreign firms, should lessen the need for a policy aimed at discouraging domestic mergers. This implicitly assumes that the tariff in question is sufficiently high to ...
