Q

MUC

A

PV of forgone opportunities at the margin
will continue to increase as you consume more because the OC increases since you value things more as you have less of it

Q

Hartwick rule

A

all of the scarcity rent from the use of scarce resources is invested in capital, the resulting allocation will satisfy the first definition of sustainability

Q

if the principal is increasing or remaining constant -

A

the allocation is sustainable

17
Q

weak sustainability

A

focuses on overall total

18
Q

strong sustainability

A

focuses on individual resources not total

must be maintained at its current level
