Price, scarcity rent, and a modified r per cent rule for non‐renewable resources

We show that Hotelling's fundamental results of rising scarcity rent and price paths are sustained and that the path of scarcity rent converges on the r per cent rule, provided the objective function is concave. Predictions of non-monotonic or declining scarci… Show more
