The economics of fishing and modern capital theory: A simplified approach☆

TL;DR: In this paper, a dynamic linear autonomous model is developed for the static version of the fisheries economics model and the model is then extended by making it non-autonomous and second, nonlinear.

The structure and stability of competitive dynamical systems

TL;DR: In this article, the structure and stability of competitive dynamical systems are discussed and a general framework that encompasses these and many other problems in the theory of economic growth, or more broadly, economic dynamics is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Notes on the Economics of Infinity

TL;DR: In this paper, it is argued that the double infinity of traders and dated commodities allows for competitive equilibria that are not Pareto-optimal, while the fact that generations do not meet is not essential.

The Pontryagin maximum principle and optimal economic growth problems

TL;DR: In this article, a new approximation approach to deriving necessary optimality conditions in the form of the Pontryagin maximum principle for problems with infinite time horizon is proposed, where the main distinctive feature of such problems is that the control process is considered on an infinite time interval.

Fishery dynamics: a North Atlantic cod fishery

TL;DR: In this article, the relative merits of periodic and sustained fishing of a stock consisting of several cohorts are studied by simulating a Beverton-Holt model of a cod fishery.

A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth

TL;DR: In this paper, a model of long run growth is proposed and examples of possible growth patterns are given. But the model does not consider the long run of the economy and does not take into account the characteristics of interest and wage rates.

Mathematical Theory of Optimal Processes

TL;DR: The fourth and final volume in this comprehensive set presents the maximum principle as a wide ranging solution to nonclassical, variational problems as discussed by the authors, which can be applied in a variety of situations, including linear equations with variable coefficients.
