Exhaustible and Recyclable Resources

1. Constant costs with a backstop resources
2. Depletion with uncertain demand
3. Exploration
4. Exploration in a two period model
5. Extraction with increasing demand and a backstop
6. Falling extraction costs due to new technology
7. Fossil aquifer use
8. Inefficiency of common property
9. Oil, technology, and ANWR
10. Rising demand with constant costs

The following problems have marginal extraction costs that rise with the amount of the resource extracted. This material is generally not covered in ECN 410.

1. Allocating multiple grades over 5 periods
2. Increasing costs and recycling
3. Infinite future periods
4. Recycling bottles
5. Rising demand
6. Rising extraction costs and recycling
7. Rising extraction costs, recycling and externalities
