ynamic Efficiency: Optimal resource allocation in a two-period problem The demand for a non-renewable resource is given by: MB = 10 – 0.5Q. The marginal cost of extraction is $2 per unit (MC = 2). Therefore, the Marginal Net Benefits Function (MB-MC) is given by MNB = 8-0.5Q Answer the following question: What is the condition that determines inter-temporal efficiency?

Compare two versions of the two-period depletable resource model that differ only in the treatment of marginal extraction cost. Assume that in the second version the constant marginal extraction cost is lower in the second period than the first (perhaps due to the anticipated arrival of a new, superior extraction technology). The constant marginal extraction cost is the same in both periods in the first version and is equal to the marginal extraction cost in the first period of the second version. In a dynamic efficient allocation, how would the extraction profile in the second version differ from the first? Would relatively more or less be allocated to the second period in the second version than in the first version? Would the marginal user cost be higher or lower in the second version? Why?C
Which of the following statements on dynamic efficiency is correct?a. Dynamic efficiency is the efficient use of resources when it is not necessary toinclude considerations.b. It compares today’s value to the future value of extracting a resource.c. The future value of a resource does not need to be discounted in order to compareit the value of today’s resource.d. The value of today’s resource needs to be discounted in order to compare its valueto the future value of a resource
Question: Suppose that the marginal cost of extracting a non-renewable natural resource is MXC(Q) = 10 and the marginal beneÖt of using the resource are MB(Q) = 90Q. In the context of a static model, address the following question: Calculate the efficient value of Q if the total stock of the natural resource is Q = 50: Provide a graphical representation of the solution. My Note: This is my first time resubmitting, I was told to confirm that MXC(Q) =10 is the correct form of the Marginal cost of extraction to answer this question correctly. I'm not sure but this is the way my professor asked his question.
Consider the following two-period model of dynamically efficient extraction of a non-renewable natural resource. The constant social marginal cost of extraction is 40 in each period and the total stock of the resource is Q = 300 units. Moreover, the social marginal benefit is MB(Qt) = 200 - Qt, where Qt is the quantity of resource extracted in period t, for t = 0; 1. The discount factor is 0.8. What is the efficient quantity of resources extracted in each period? Provide a graphical representation of the solution.
Please summarize key concepts and vocabulary of natural resource economics—what are major natural resource sources, what methods are used for extraction, what influences production, and how does consumer demand shape consumptions and natural resource utilization?
Economic growth and the prosperity of nations depends upon their access to energy. Without an assured supply of energy production is not possible. Fossil fuels have served as sources of energy for decades. However, in recent years some disadvantages associated with the use of fossil fuels has become obvious. Which of the below IS NOT and HAS NOT BEEN one of the drawbacks of using fossil fuels for the production of goods? Group of answer choices Fossil fuels produce less energy than the non-traditional sources of energy and thus are inefficient. Fossil fuels are associated with environmental damage and possibly even global warming. Fossil fuels are finite, and some day they will run out. Economies that possess fossil fuels such as oil and coal can control supply of these and hike up their prices, and thus deny access to these resources to some countries for political purposes.
It is the unforgivable squandering of resources in the developed world and the environmental degradation resulting from it that currently determine the general degradation of the global economy and constitutes the source of potential disasters for the entire human population. Carefully evaluate the above statement.
Consider the following two-period model of dynamically efficient extraction of a non-renewable natural resource. The constant social marginal cost of extraction is 40 in each period and the total stock of the resource is Q = 300 units. Moreover, the social marginal benefit is MB(Qt) = 200 Qt, where Qt is the quantity of resource extracted in period t, for t = 0; 1. The discount factor is 0:8. (c) Suppose that there is a market to trade the resource. What is the equilibrium price corresponding to each period? Justify the answer.
