You hired a mathematician (who never took a Natural Resource Economics class) to solve a 4 period nonrenewable resource problem assuming a competitive industry and a total resource constraint of 100. He returns an answer to you where per period output levels are increasing and he gets a lambda value: 1 = -3.45. From this you conclude: Demand is too low for the constraint of 100 to be binding. Therefore there is no scarcity. The mathematician must have made a mathematical mistake. Competitive firms place no weight on the future and therefore behave like there is no opportunity cost of extracting a resource today. Demand is too high to support the extraction of the resource so the marginal user cost become negative.
