Numerical Analysis of Non-Constant Discounting with an Application to Renewable Resource Management

The possibility of non-constant discounting is important in environmental and resource management problems where current decisions affect welfare in the far-distant future, as with climate change. The difficulty of analyzing models with non-constant discounting limits their application. We describe...
