A primitive economy consists of a fishing industry and an oil industry. A unit of fishing industry output requires 0.30 unit of fishing industry input and 0.35 unit of oil industry input. A unit of oil industry output requires inputs of 0.04 unit of fishing products and 0.10 unit of oil products.

(a) Write the technology matrix for this primitive economy.

Fishing             Oil

Oil



(b) If surpluses of 10 units of fishing products and 545 units of oil products are desired, find the gross production of each industry.

Newfoundland’s fishing industry has recently declined sharply due to overfishing, even though fishing companies were supposedly bound by a quota agreement. If all fishermen had abided by the agreement, yields could have been maintained at high levels. Model this situation as a prisoner’s dilemma in which the players are Company A and Company B, and the strategies are to keep the quota and break the quota. Suppose that if both companies keep the quota, then each receives a payoff of...

Horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracking have changed the prospects of the oil industry from an industry facing production shortages to one facing surpluses. To date the United States has been the only country to embrace these new technologies. It is widely believed that many other countries have formations and basins that would be productive using these new technologies. Look up a couple of articles and list your opinions as to why other countries are not adopting horizontal drilling and hydraulic...

The Oil and Gas (O&G) industry is by its nature a high risk industry. The industries’ products, hydrocarbons produced and transported, supply the world market with substantial amounts of fuel and raw product for a number of industrial activities. Therefore the O&G industry handles large quantities of flammable and hazardous substances in the high energy environment encountered subsurface with high pressure and temperature scenarios, explosion prone environment, electrical hazard, falling hazards, and mechanical structure failure. In some cases the risk...
