Using In M = n ln b, what annual growth rate (b) in percent, leads to the mathematically convenient
factor of M = 10 growth every century (n =
100).
Consider one farmer using an aquifer. The volume of water in the aquifer is described by Xt+1 = Xt – Yt + Qt where Xt is the volume of water in period t, Yt is the extraction of water in period t and Qt is precipitation. The marginal net benefits of the farmer in each period are described by
MNBt = 20 - Yt
There are two periods. The amount of water in the first period is X0 = 7 and Q0 = 1.5. The farmer cannot use more water than available at the beginning of each period such that Yt ≤ Xt. With a discount rate of 10%, what is the efficient water use in the first period?
