Consider a two-period model of mineral extraction with a 3% discount rate, in which the total supply of minerals is fixed at 100. A social planner is trying to decide how much we should consume in each period (i.e. what the efficient consumption pattern would be). Q1 is our consumption in period 1; Q2 is our consumption in period 2. Prices (P1), marginal benefits (MB1), and marginal costs of extraction (MCE1) in period 1 are: P1 = MB1 = 80...
