How rapidly should a country exploit a nonrenewable resource if supplementary imports are insecure? With lags in domestic supply adjustment, speeding up extraction will reduce near-term losses in a disruption, but reserves will be depleted more quickly, leading to greater future import...

A spatial model that incorporates store locations and city topographic features is developed for the Edmonton, Alberta, video-cassette-rental market. Bertrand-Nash equilibrium prices are computed using a grid search algorithm that maximizes goodness-of-fit against observed prices. The fit is...
