Which one of the following statements is false?
-Total economic value includes ecosystem service benefits.
-Total economic value includes the potential to make profits from a natural resource.
-Total economic value includes intrinsic benefits.
-Total economic value includes recreation benefits.
-Total economic value includes nonuse benefits.
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?
We are all aware that there are many natural resources, fossil fuels like coal, crude petroleum, mineral resources etc, which are essential inputs in modern manufacturing / production processes, and are available in limited stock (i.e., are exhaustible).
In this discussion please discuss the role of technology in efficient utilization of these exhaustible resources which you might have come across in your own work experience. You could also discuss instances of firms taking steps to adopt renewable natural resources to cut down their reliance on exhaustible resources.

- Concern over politically controlled supply and finite availability of non-renewable energy resources such as crude oil and natural gas has prompted large crude oil-consuming nations to seek alternate renewable energy sources. Furthermore, environmental concerns associated with carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions have prompted countries with large agricultural tracts of land to seek and develop clean, renewable biofuels that are not only environmentally friendly, but which also contribute to sustainable eco-nomic growth and energy security. Developing biofu-els does not need to be a panacea, however, real chal-lenges must be overcome to prevent economic costs from exceeding social benefits. For example, countries should take extreme care in implementing national biofuel policies because in the rush to energy indepen-dence, more pollution may occur, and resources…arrow_forwardResources are allocated among industries in response to signals sent by both product and resources ...................... .

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.arrow_forward
- Name and describe two key contributions that the natural environment makes to our economies.arrow_forwardVarious cultures have come up with their own methods to limit catch size and prevent fishery collapse. In old Hawaii, certain fishing grounds near shore could be used only by certain individuals. And among lobstermen in Maine, strict territorial rights are handed out so that only certain people can harvest lobsters in certain waters. Discuss specifically how these systems provide incentives for conservation. Then think about the enforcement of these property rights. Do you think similar systems could be successfully enforced for deep-sea fishing, far off shore?arrow_forward2.

Rich people buy more food B. Rich people buy better quality food C. Rich people consume more diversified food D. All the above 26. Some critics of modern agriculture argue that the interface between the environment and food production is likely to create critical constraints on future food production. They support their arguments by all the following, except: A. The world has already expanded agricultural production into areas that cannot sustain it B. Yields from current production methods have reached their plateau C. Countries around the globe are switching to production methods that do not use fertilizers and chemicals and are maintaining the same yields as from methods that use more and more fertilizers and chemicals D.
