Abstract: Simplifying the intertemporal allocation of a stock resource to a two-period model fails to account for the unequal relationship between time periods, and, more seriously, does not account for an increase in stock scarcity as the number of periods is increased. Discounting mitigates the problem, but the appropriateness of this to natural resources is under challenge. A multiperiod model shows the future costs of present use increasing well beyond normal time horizons. An optimal conservation tax may be large, even indefinitely so.
