Background:
Modeling of exploitation of natural resources involves a number of methodological issues. During the past years the development has provided tools of analysis which are more adaptable to different situations and a potentially more realistic portrayal of natural resources policy.
However, models have to be based not only on the dynamics of natural resources, the relevant economics and an understanding of the issue to be addressed, but also on a sound techniques of building and applying models. The aim of the workshop is to focus on this gab. What are the guidelines for practitioners regarding the process of building and implementing the models? The workshop will among other things address issues such as:
- How to include regulation into the models, the institutional framework?
- Aggregation: Transition from firm-level to sector-level analysis
- Inclusion of productivity analysis, conversion of inputs to output
- Capital adjustments
- Different experiences of bio-economic modeling
