- For an infinite-period multiple rotation model (Faustmann Rotation) for a forest, explain the economic intuition behind: (a) (In words) the mathematical condition that determines when the rotation length should end. (b) Why each rotation period is the same length of time. (c) The role of the discount rate in determining rotation length. (d) How the addition of non-timber benefit may influence rotation length. You need to define the specific non-timber benefit also.Nonewords about the negative/positive impacts of Corona virus (COVID19) on tourism sector in Oman
- Assume you own a copper mine. The mine has total known reserves of 500 (million metric tons). The market demand for the copper is estimated to be: P = -1.75Q + 1000 and the marginal cost curve is estimated to be: P = 1.25Q + 100. What is the efficient quantity of copper to extract if you need only consider the current period in your decision making? Assume you need to consider allocation of the mine’s resources across two periods of time—the present and the future. Assume the “future” period is 10 years from the present and you use a discount rate 7.5%. What would be the efficient (inter-temporal) allocation of the mine’s resources in each period? What would be the price in each period if demand is constant across time?The world's total petroleum reserve is estimated at 1.5 x 1022 J. At the present rate of consumption, 6.027 x 1017 J/day, how long would it take to exhaust the supply (in years)?How should we expect the cost of oil to affect the cost of producing gasoline, diesel and other oil-based products in the US and other parts of the world?

- Your research department has estimated the total benefits (revenues) and costs of producing output (Q) to be: B(Q) = 8000 Q - 3Q² and C(Q) = Q². This means that MB = 8000 - 6Q and MC = 2Q. What is the maximum level of profits?Consider the following two-period model of dynamically efficient extraction of a non-renewable natural resource. The constant social marginal cost of extraction is 40 in each period and the total stock of the resource is Q = 300 units. Moreover, the social marginal benefit is MB(Qt) = 200 Qt, where Qt is the quantity of resource extracted in period t, for t = 0; 1. The discount factor is 0:8. (c) Suppose that there is a market to trade the resource. What is the equilibrium price corresponding to each period?
