A Note on Theoretical Issues on Resource Depletion

Abstract

This note considers the optimal management of a non-renewable resource subject to depletion effects. It is demonstrated that even with depletion effects, if there are no non convexities in production it always pays to exhaust the resource, if it pays to exploit it at all.
