Download or read book An Analysis of Cartelized Market Structures for Nonrenewable Resources written by Robert A. Marshalla and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1979. While the theory of non-renewable resources under competitive and monopolistic market regimes have been relatively well developed, almost no attention has been given to the development of a theoretical framework for analysis of the spectrum of mixed market structure between those extremes. The world oil market structure is an example of such an intermediate market structure. The purpose of this title is to develop such a theoretical framework. The study examines non-renewable resource markets in which a profit maximizing producer cartel co-exists with a non-cartel supply sector, which is alternately modelled as consisting of a collection of competitive firms or as exhibiting other exogenously assumed supply behaviours. This title will be of interest to students of environmental economics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Economy - Environment economics, grade: 1,0, University of Bergen, language: English, abstract: In 1972 the Club of rome, a group of economists mainly represented by Donella H. Meadows, published The Limits to growth: The Club of Rome's project on the predicament of mankind, dealinh with a prediction of the world's future in terms of the ongoing exploitation of natural non-renewable resources and their impacts on man's living standards. The book made a deep impression on people's minds and initiated a still ongoing discussion among politicians, environmentalists and economists. limits to growth (Meadwos, 1972) is the center part of this term paper. The current discussion is not just about the impacts of the ongoing exploitation of non-renewable resources; it is about the methods used by meadows as well. the objective of this term paper is to show the main results of Meadows' book and analyze in a critical manner the methods used and their implementations, maily concerning the criticism by William Nordhaus (1992). In order to do so there is an initial need for some general remarks on vocabulary used in the manner of this issue. This means in particular the distiction of growth against development, as well as to answer the question of what is meant by the term sustainability. Afterwards the paper presents some main results of Meadows (1972) concerning predicted pathways of certain indicators representing man's future living standards. following the criticism of Nordhaus (1992) the paper continues with a comparable empirical analysis of resource price development. Afterwards the simple economic growth model by Robert Solow will be examined with respect to fixed amount of land, to show the effect-relationship between economic groth and finite land. Finally there is a summary and conclusion of the elaborated results of this term paper.
Download or read book Encyclopedia of Energy Natural Resource and Environmental Economics written by and published by Newnes. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 1056 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every decision about energy involves its price and cost. The price of gasoline and the cost of buying from foreign producers; the price of nuclear and hydroelectricity and the costs to our ecosystems; the price of electricity from coal-fired plants and the cost to the atmosphere. Giving life to inventions, lifestyle changes, geopolitical shifts, and things in-between, energy economics is of high interest to Academia, Corporations and Governments. For economists, energy economics is one of three subdisciplines which, taken together, compose an economic approach to the exploitation and preservation of natural resources: energy economics, which focuses on energy-related subjects such as renewable energy, hydropower, nuclear power, and the political economy of energy resource economics, which covers subjects in land and water use, such as mining, fisheries, agriculture, and forests environmental economics, which takes a broader view of natural resources through economic concepts such as risk, valuation, regulation, and distribution Although the three are closely related, they are not often presented as an integrated whole. This Encyclopedia has done just that by unifying these fields into a high-quality and unique overview. The only reference work that codifies the relationships among the three subdisciplines: energy economics, resource economics and environmental economics. Understanding these relationships just became simpler! Nobel Prize Winning Editor-in-Chief (joint recipient 2007 Peace Prize), Jason Shogren, has demonstrated excellent team work again, by coordinating and steering his Editorial Board to produce a cohesive work that guides the user seamlessly through the diverse topics This work contains in equal parts information from and about business, academic, and government perspectives and is intended to serve as a tool for unifying and systematizing research and analysis in business, universities, and government

Download or read book Natural Resource Pricing and Rents written by Andrey Vavilov and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the economics of natural resource markets and pricing, as well as the field of natural resource economics in general. It presents the key contributions to this field of research, including the pioneering works and contemporary studies. The book highlights the basic principles and ideas underlying theoretical models of resource pricing. The models considered in the book underline the fundamental determinants of resource prices and the economic nature of rents for non-renewable and renewable resources. Besides the classical theory of exhaustible resource economics, the book includes several issues that are of high importance for global economic growth, such as the transition to alternative energy and the economics of climate change. The authors also consider the issues of commodity pricing and a resource cartel’s activity that are relevant to the world oil market. The book provides analytical solutions illustrated with numerical examples. It allows an intuitive understanding of the subject and the model inferences through graphical illustrations and an informal introduction. It, therefore, is a must-read for everybody interested in a better understanding of resource prices, resource markets, and resource economics.

Download or read book Natural Resource Economics written by Barry C. Field and published by Waveland Press. This book was released on 2023-07-21 with total page 466 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The connection between humans and the earth’s natural resources is a topic of vital interest. Concern once centered on whether there were sufficient supplies of natural resources to accommodate the rising demands of growing economies; a newer concern is whether those growing economies will undermine the linkages between humans and the earth’s critical ecological endowments. It is essential to understand the reciprocity of how human decisions affect resources and how resources affect humans. Natural resource economics is one way of framing and analyzing choices about the conservation and use of natural resources made daily by individuals, communities, and nations. The focus of the text is on natural resource valuation, economic incentives, and the institutional arrangements that will produce desired collective outcomes. The fourth edition of this acclaimed text presents the analytical framework of economics in easy-to-understand descriptions for readers who have not yet been exposed to economics. The first nine chapters offer a lucid introduction to fundamental economic principles and their application to questions about natural resource use. Ten topical chapters address specific natural resources. The final two chapters examine natural resource issues encountered in developing countries and the impacts of globalization on the utilization and conservation of natural resources. Topics new to this edition include: equity issues in natural resources decisions, existence value of wildlife, technological change, natural capital, payment for environmental services, rare earths, food security, and collective property rights.
