Abstract
• Bioenergy is based on the dynamic utilization of natural resources. The dynamic supply of such energy resources is of fundamental importance to the success of bioenergy. This analysis concerns the optimal present extraction of a natural resouce and how this is affected by different kinds of future risk. The objective function is the expected present value of all operations over time. The analysis is performed via general function multi dimensional analyical optimization and comparative dynamics analysis in discrete time. First, the price and/or cost risk in the next period increases. The direction of optimal adjustment of the present extraction level is found to be a function of the third order derivatives of the profit functions in later time periods with respect to the extraction levels. In the second section, the optimal present extraction level is studied under the influence of increasing risk in the growth process. Again, the direction of optimal adjustment of the present extraction is found to be a function of the third order derivatives of the profit functions in later time periods with respect to the extraction levels. In the third section, the resource contains different species, growing together. Furthermore, the total harvest in each period is constrained. The directions of adjustments of the present extraction levels are functions of the third order derivatives, if the price or cost risk of one of the species increases.

• In the following analyses, we study the solutions to maximization problems. The objective functions are the total expected present values. In particular, we study how the optimal decisions at different points in time are affected by stochastic variables, increasing risk and optimal adaptive future decisions.
• In all derivations in this document, continuously differentiable functions are assumed. In the optimizations and comparative statics calculations, local optima and small moves of these optima under the influence of parameter changes, are studied. For these reasons, derivatives of order four and higher are not considered. Derivatives of order three and lower can however not be neglected. We should be aware that functions that are not everywhere continuously differentiable may be relevant in several cases.

The profit functions used in the analyses are functions of the revenue and cost functions.
The continuous profit functions may be interpreted as approximations of profit functions with penalty functions representing capacity constraints.
The analysis will show that the third order derivatives of these functions determine the optimal present extraction response to increasing future risk.

Optimization in multi period problems
10
The multi period problem
We maximize Z , the total expected present value. (.)tR and (.)tC denote discounted revenue and cost functions in period t .
Now, we introduce a three period problem. In period 1, 1x , the extraction level, is determined before the stochastic event in period 2 takes place. In period
2, the outcome of the stochastic event is observed before the extraction level is period 2, 2x , is determined. With probability , the discounted price in
period 2 increases with h in relation to what was earlier assumed according to the revenue function. With probability (1 ) , the discounted price in
period 2 decreases by h . In the first case, we select 2 21x x and in the second case, we select 2 22x x . The resource available for extration in period 3, 3x ,
is of course affected by the decisions in period 2. If 2 21x x , then 3 31x x . If 2 22x x , then 3 32x x .

We may also study the effects of risk in the resource volume process, growth risk, with the same basic structure. Then, g serves as the risk parameter. With some probability, the volume increases by g and with some probability, the volume decreases by g , in relation to what was earlier expected.

Let us study a special case:
max Z
subject to
1 21 31x x x A g
1 22 32x x x A g
We note that we have five decision variables. In period 1, we only have one decision, the optimal extratction level, 1x . In period 2, we have two alternative
optimal extraction levels, 21x or 22x , depending on the outcome of the stochastic event. In period 3, the optimal extration level 31x or 32x , is conditional on
all earlier extraction levels and outcomes.
We may instantly solve for 31x and 32x .

The mixed species case:
• A complete dynamic analysis of optimal natural resource management with several species should include decisions concerning total stock levels and interspecies competition. • In the following analysis, we study a case with two species, where the
growth of a species is assumed to be a function of the total stock level and the stock level of the individual species. • The total stock level has however already indirectly been determined
via binding constraints on total harvesting in periods 1 and 2. • We start with a deterministic version of the problem and later move
to the stochastic counterpart.

is the total present value. itx denotes harves volume of species i in period t .
( )it itx is the present value of harvesting species i in period t .
Each species has an intertemporal harvest volume constraint.
tH denotes the total harvest volume in period t.
These total harvest volumes are constrained in periods 1 and 2,
because of harvest capacity constraints, constraints in logistics or other constraints,
maybe reflecting the desire to control the total stock level.

Some multi species results:With multiple species and total harvest volume constraints:
Case 1:If the future price risk of one species, A, increases, we should now harvest less of this species (A) and more of the other species, in case the third order derivative of the profit function of species A with respect to harvest volume is greater than the corresponding derivative of the other species.
Case 3:If the future price risk of one species, A, increases, we should not change the present harvest of this species (A) and not change the harvest of the other species, in case the third order derivative of the profit function of species A with respect to harvest volume is equal to the corresponding derivative of the other species.
Case 5:If the future price risk of one species, A, increases, we should now harvest more of this species (A) and less of the other species, in case the third order derivative of the profit function of species A with respect to harvest volume is less than the corresponding derivative of the other species.

• Conclusive and general results have been derived and reported for the following cases:
• Increasing risk in the price and cost functions.
• Increasing risk in the dynamics of the physical processes.

• In the following analyses, we study the solutions to maximization problems. The objective functions are the total expected present values. In particular, we study how the optimal decisions at different points in time are affected by stochastic variables, increasing risk and optimal adaptive future decisions.
• In all derivations in this document, continuously differentiable functions are assumed. In the optimizations and comparative statics calculations, local optima and small moves of these optima under the influence of parameter changes, are studied. For these reasons, derivatives of order four and higher are not considered. Derivatives of order three and lower can however not be neglected. We should be aware that functions that are not everywhere continuously differentiable may be relevant in several cases.

Introduction with a simplified problem
Objective function:
( ) ( ) ( , ) (1 ) ( ) ( ,0)y x P f x g x h P f x g x
Definitions:
x Present extraction level
( )y x Expected present value (expected discounted value) of present and future extraction
( )f x Economic value of present extraction
h Risk parameter
P Probability that the expected present value of future extraction is affected by the risk parameter h
( , )g x h Expected present value of future extraction (in case the expected present value of future extraction is affected by risk parameter h )
( ,0)g x Expected present value of future extraction (in case the expected present value of future extraction is not affected by risk parameter h )

The objective function can be rewritten as:
( ) ( ) ( , ) (1 ) ( ,0)y x f x Pg x h P g x
Let us maximize ( )y x with respect to x . The first order optimum condition is:

How can this be interpreted?
Our objective function was initially defined as:
( ) ( ) ( , ) (1 ) ( ,0)y x f x Pg x h P g x
Let us define marginally redefine the optimization problem:
( ) ( ) ( ( ), ) (1 ) ( ( ),0)y x f x PK L x h P K L x
![Page 48: Optimal continuous natural resource extraction with increasing risk in prices and stock dynamics Professor Dr Peter Lohmander](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062410/5697bff91a28abf838cbfbcd/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

( ( ), ) ( , )K L x h g x h
Here, K replaces g and we have the function ( )L x that represents the resource available for future extraction as a function of the present extraction level. With growth and/or without growth, we usually find that:
0dL
dx
2
20
d f
dx
2
20
d K
dL
The first order optimum condition then becomes:
( ( ), ) ( ( ),0)(1 ) 0
dy df dK L x h dK L x dLP P
dx dx dL dL dx
A special case is when there is no growth of the resource. Then, 1dL
dx .
Then, we get:
( ( ), ) ( ( ),0)(1 )
df dK L x h dK L xP P
dx dL dL
This means that the expected marginal present value of the resource used for extraction should be the same in the present period and in the future. Then, if 2 ( , )
0d K L h
dLdh , and the value of the future risk parameter h increases, this makes the expected marginal present value of future extraction,
( ( ), )dK L x h
dL
increase.

Then, df
dx also has to increase. Since
2

d y
dx , the only way to make the first order optimum condition hold, is to reduce the present extraction level, *x .
Since 2

df

Probabilities and outcomes:
Now, let us more explicitly define increasing risk and derive the conditional effects on the optimal value of x. In the next period, the outcome of a stochastic variable, s , will be known. This stochastic variable can represent different things, such as growth, price, environmental state etc.. More explicit cases will be defined in the later part of this analysis.
The original objective function was:
( ) ( ) ( , ) (1 ) ( ) ( ,0)y x P f x g x h P f x g x
Now, we get this objective function:
1
( ) ( ) ( ) ( , , ( , ))I
i i ii
y x f x s x s h s
The objective function ( )y x is the sum of the expected present values of present and future extraction, before future stochastic outcomes have been
observed. ( )y x is a function of the extraction level x in the first period, period 1.

We note that d

is the derivative of the expected present value of future (from period 2) extraction as a function of x with respect to the present
extraction level. If
23
2 2
dd
d dxdxds ds
>0, then d
dx
is a strictly convex function of the stochastic variable. Then, Jensen’s inequality tells us that the expected
value of d
dx
increases if the risk of the stochastic variable increases. Hence, if the risk increases and 3
20
d

, it is rational that *x increases.
Furthermore, if the risk increases and 3
20
d

, *x decreases. If the risk increases and
3

d

, *x remains unchanged.

means that the marginal value of the resource used for present extraction increases (is unchanged) (decreases) in relation to the
expected marginal present value of the resource used for future extraction, in case the future risk increases.
Then, it is obvious that the present extraction should increase (be unchanged)(decrease) as a result of increasing risk in the future.
Obviously, 3

( , )d x s

is of central importance to optimal extraction under risk. In the next sections, we will investigate how
3
2
( , )d x s
dxds
is affected by multi
period settings and dynamic properties such as stationarity in the stochastic processes of relevance to the problem. Different constraints such as extraction volume constraints may also affect the results, in particular in multi species problems.
In order to discover the true and relevant effects of future risk on the optimal present decisions, it is necessary to let the future decisions be optimized conditional on the outcomes of stochastic events that will be observed before the future decisions are taken. The lowest number of periods that a resource extraction optimization problem must contain in order to discover, capture and analyze these effects is three.
For this reason, the rest of this analysis is based on three period versions of the problems. With more periods than three, the essential problem properties and results are the same but the results are more difficult to discover because of the large numbers of variables and equations. Earlier studies of related multi period problems have been made with stochastic dynamic programming and arbitrary numbers of periods. Please consult Lohmander (1987) and Lohmander (1988) for more details.

Optimization in multi period problems
The multi period problem
We maximize Z , the total expected present value. (.)tR and (.)tC denote discounted revenue and cost functions in period t .
Now, we introduce a three period problem. In period 1, 1x , the extraction level, is determined before the stochastic event in period 2 takes place. In period
2, the outcome of the stochastic event is observed before the extraction level is period 2, 2x , is determined. With probability , the discounted price in
period 2 increases with h in relation to what was earlier assumed according to the revenue function. With probability (1 ) , the discounted price in
period 2 decreases by h . In the first case, we select 2 21x x and in the second case, we select 2 22x x . The resource available for extration in period 3, 3x ,
is of course affected by the decisions in period 2. If 2 21x x , then 3 31x x . If 2 22x x , then 3 32x x .

We may also study the effects of risk in the resource volume process, growth risk, with the same basic structure. Then, g serves as the risk parameter. With some probability, the volume increases by g and with some probability, the volume decreases by g , in relation to what was earlier expected.

We note that we have five decision variables. In period 1, we only have one decision, the optimal extratction level, 1x . In period 2, we have two alternative
optimal extraction levels, 21x or 22x , depending on the outcome of the stochastic event. In period 3, the optimal extration level 31x or 32x , is conditional on
all earlier extraction levels and outcomes.
We may instantly solve for 31x and 32x .

Some results of increasing risk in the price process:• If the future risk in the price process increases, we should increase
the present extraction level in case the third order derivatives of profit with respect to volume are strictly negative.• If the future risk in the price process increases, we should not change
the present extraction level in case the third order derivatives of profit with respect to volume are zero.• If the future risk in the price process increases, we should decrease
the present extraction level in case the third order derivatives of profit with respect to volume are strictly positive.

This expression can instantly be simplified to:

The mixed species case:
• A complete dynamic analysis of optimal natural resource management with several species should include decisions concerning total stock levels and interspecies competition. • In the following analysis, we study a case with two species, where the
growth of a species is assumed to be a function of the total stock level and the stock level of the individual species. • The total stock level has however already indirectly been determined
via binding constraints on total harvesting in periods 1 and 2. • We start with a deterministic version of the problem and later move
to the stochastic counterpart.

is the total present value. itx denotes harves volume of species i in period t .
( )it itx is the present value of harvesting species i in period t .
Each species has an intertemporal harvest volume constraint.
tH denotes the total harvest volume in period t.
These total harvest volumes are constrained in periods 1 and 2,
because of harvest capacity constraints, constraints in logistics or other constraints,
maybe reflecting the desire to control the total stock level.

Now, we move to a stochastic version of the same problem. is the expected total present value under the influence of stochastic future events and optimal adaptive decisions. With probability , the discounted price of species 1 increases by h in period 2 and with probability (1 ) , the price
decreases by the same amount. We define this a ”mean preserving spread” via the constraint 1(1 ) 2 .
itpx =Harvest volume in species i , at time t , for price state p
A: Consequences for harvest decisions in periods 2 and 3 of a price increase of species 1 in period 2:
Consequences for harvest decisions for species 1:
If the price in period 2 of species 1 increases by h , then we harvest 12 121x x in period 2. In period 3, we get the conditional harvest 13 131x x .
Consequences for harvest decisions for species 2:
If the price in period 2 of species 1 increases by h , then we harvest 22 221x x in period 2. In period 3, we get the conditional harvest 23 231x x .

B: Consequences for harvest decisions in periods 2 and 3 of a price decrease of species 1 in period 2:
Consequences for harvest decisions for species 1:
If the price in period 2 of species 1 decreases by h , then we harvest 12 122x x in period 2. In period 3, we get the conditional harvest 13 132x x .
Consequences for harvest decisions for species 2:
If the price in period 2 of species 1 decreases by h , then we harvest 22 222x x in period 2. In period 3, we get the conditional harvest 23 232x x .

Assumptions:
'' ''13 230 0
In order to produce strong and relevant results, we assume that:
''' '''13 230 0
and even
''' '''13 230 0
In general, one should expect that ''' '''13 13''' '''12 12
1 1
and ''' '''23 23''' '''22 22

, since the effects of volume increases on
the marginal profit level are usually less dramatic in the long run than in the short run. In the long run, there is more time available to adjust infrastructure capacity, logistics, labour force and industrial capacities to large volume changes.

Some multi species results:With multiple species and total harvest volume constraints:
Case 1:If the future price risk of one species, A, increases, we should now harvest less of this species (A) and more of the other species, in case the third order derivative of the profit function of species A with respect to harvest volume is greater than the corresponding derivative of the other species.
Case 3:If the future price risk of one species, A, increases, we should not change the present harvest of this species (A) and not change the harvest of the other species, in case the third order derivative of the profit function of species A with respect to harvest volume is equal to the corresponding derivative of the other species.
Case 5:If the future price risk of one species, A, increases, we should now harvest more of this species (A) and less of the other species, in case the third order derivative of the profit function of species A with respect to harvest volume is less than the corresponding derivative of the other species.
