A concerted worldwide effort to reach the goals of the Paris Agreement, i.e., climate stabilisation to well below +2°C above pre-industrial levels, and decarbonisation until mid-century, brings about a substantial increase in raw material demand for clean energy technologies. Yet, energy...

We consider optimal fishery management under the assumption of increasing returns that is supported by previous empirical evidence. We improve the tractability and realism of the previous approaches by introducing flow adjustment costs on changes in harvest rate. Our framework is the first to...

Economic theories of managing renewable resources, such as fisheries and forestry, traditionally assume that individual harvesters are perfectly rational and thus able to compute the optimal harvesting strategy that maximizes their profits. The current paper presents an alternative approach...
