Resource Economics is a text for students with a background in
calculus and intermediate microeconomics and a familiarity with the
spreadsheet software Excel. The book covers basic concepts (Chapter
1), shows how to set up spreadsheets to solve simple dynamic
allocation problems (Chapter 2), and presents economic models for
fisheries, forestry, nonrenewable resources, and stock pollutants
(Chapters 3–6). Chapter 7 examines the maximin utility criterion
when the utility of a generation depends on consumption of a
manufactured good, harvest from a renewable resource, and extraction
from a nonrenewable resource. Within the text, numerical examples are
posed and solved using Excel's Solver. Exercises are included at the
end of each chapter. These problems help make concepts operational,
develop economic intuition, and serve as a bridge to the study of
real-world problems in resource management.
