This paper presents a framework to determine optimal resource allocation over time for the production of a good by heterogeneous producers who generate a stock externality. We analyze the optimal intertemporal and quality-specific combination of abatement strategies at the source given by a...

With the development of modern information technologies, relying on nanotechnologies and remote sensing, a number of systems can be envisaged that allow for monitoring of the negative externalities generated by producers, consumers or travelers - road pricing schemes or individual emission...

In this paper we present a classroom exercise where students can solve the basic two-period consumer choice model using the Excel-Solver, and explore the main features of the model. We also include a static comparative analysis and a borrowing constraint in the optimization problem

In 2010 implementation of the European Higher Education Area in European universities will imply a rethinking of the structure of subjects taught and a likely reduction in the content of many current teaching programmes. This will be the case in quot;Mathematics for Economistsquot; and will...

Different regulatory bodies tend to develop environmental policies not recognizing the interdependencies between externalities. For example, one authority may regulate a stock pollution and another a flow pollution that result from the same activity. This study introduces a two-phase...

We consider firms combining variable inputs and heterogeneous capital goods. Input use may cause simultaneous flow and stock externalities (e.g., air pollution/ climate change). Regulatory bodies typically develop separate policies for each externality but do not recognize that many...
