Management of a renewable resource with a backstop substitute (original) (raw)

Abstract

Policies for managing a renewable resource in the presence of a backstop substitute are analysed. Conditions for renewable and backstop resources to be "relevant" are discussed. The extinction issue, the role of myopic decision rules and the optimality of singular arc policies are reexamined with non-autonomous prices.
