Non-renewable resources are an obstacle for positive long run growth if they are essential for production, households solve an intertemporal Ramsey problem and population is growing. Modern growth models predict that growth is positively related to growth in production factors. Hence, there are...

Non-renewable resources are an obstacle for positive long run growth if they are essential for production, households solve an intertemporal Ramsey problem and population is growing. Modern growth models predict that growth is positively related to growth in production factors. Hence, there are...

This contribution is concerned with efficient use of a resources if households are characterized by Stone-Geary preferences with a minimum subsistence level of consumption. We provide a closed form solution for the case of Cobb-Douglas production with constant returns to scale in reproducible...
