Sustainable growth in a resource-based economy: the extraction-saving relationship

Author

  • Bazhanov, Andrei

Abstract

The paper presents two new results for the Dasgupta-Heal-Solow-Stiglitz model with an essential nonrenewable resource: (1) the pattern of resource extraction can be more important for sustainable growth than the pattern of saving when the Hotelling Rule modifier is not small enough; (2) the qualitative behavior of the long-run per capita output can be examined along any smooth enough path of extraction for any variable saving rate using the "index of sustainable extraction" introduced in the paper.
