## Abstract We study a model for the exploitation of renewable stocks developed in Clark __et al__. (__Econometrica__ 1979; **47**:25β47). In this particular control problem, the control law contains a measurable and an impulsive control component. We formulate Pontryagin's maximum principle for th
## Two methods for obtaining economic optimality in renewable resource exploitation are examined. The issue of biological optimality (conservation of the resource base) is also examined. In the first part of the article, the effectiveness of two realistic harvesting strategies are examined when ma
Unlimited access and capture is the best allocation policy for any resource as long as there are no crowding externalities and the harvest rate does not exceed the regeneration rate. If harvest consistently overtakes growth, unlimited capture should no longer be permitted. Without a new institutiona
## Abstract Alternative resources such as animal fats, used cooking oils and side streams from oil refining can be used for the production of biodiesel. The quality of the biodiesel is largely dependent upon the quality and properties of the feedstock. A number of technologies involving pretreatmen
