Equilibrium price of a nonrenewable resource
9
Price of a nonrenewable resource over time
10
Price changes over time for nonrenewable resource
Owner may sell a unit today or sell it later at a higher price
11
Price changes over time for nonrenewable resource
Owner may sell a unit today or sell it later at a higher price Owner supplies more today if the expected rate of price increase is less than the interest rate leads to lower price today and higher price later
12
Price changes over time for nonrenewable resource
Owner may sell a unit today or sell it later at a higher price Owner supplies more today if the expected rate of price increase is less than the interest rate leads to lower price today and higher price later Owner supplies less today if the expected rate of price increase exceeds the interest rate leads to higher price today and lower price later
13
Price changes over time for nonrenewable resource
Owner may sell a unit today or sell it later at a higher price Owner supplies more today if the expected rate of price increase is less than the interest rate leads to lower price today and higher price later Owner supplies less today if the expected rate of price increase exceeds the interest rate leads to higher price today and lower price later In equilibrium – rate of price change = interest rate
