Abstract

En este trabajo presentamos un modelo en el que las actividades extractivas referidas a un recurso natural renovable, si son abusivas, generan algÃƒÂºn tipo de reacciÃƒÂ³n social que modifica las preferencias sociales. Esta modificaciÃƒÂ³n es tenida en cuenta por el planificador a la hora de decidir cual es la asignaciÃƒÂ³n intertemporal ÃƒÂ³ptima entre consumo y stock del recurso. Bajo estas nuevas condiciones, nos preguntamos cÃƒÂ³mo cambia el stock del recurso natural en el estado estacionario y quÃƒÂ© puede decirse acerca de la posibilidad de sobreexplotaciÃƒÂ³n en comparaciÃƒÂ³n con los modelos tradicionales en los que no se considera reacciÃƒÂ³n social. Los resultados obtenidos muestran que bajo estas nuevas condiciones el stock del estado estacionario aumenta y el comportamiento de la economÃƒÂa se vuelve mÃƒÂ¡s conservacionista, disminuyendo el riesgo de sobreexplotaciÃƒÂ³n del recurso Palabras clave: Recursos Renovables, Sostenibilidad, InformaciÃƒÂ³n Ambiental, SobreexplotaciÃƒÂ³n SOCIAL INFLUENCE AND SUSTAINABILITY IN THE USE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES Abstract In this paper we present a model in which we show that if the withdrawal activities referring to a renewable resource are abusive, they generate a social reaction of some kind that changes the social preferences. This change is taken into account by the social planner in deciding the optimal allocation between consumption and stock of the resource. Given these new conditions we ask how the stock of the resource in the steady state changes and what can be deduced about the chance of overuse of the resource. At the same time we compare these results to the ones obtained with traditional models which did not take social reactions into account. The conclusions obtained show that with these new conditions the stock of the steady state increases and the economy behavior becomes more conservative, diminishing the chance of overuse of the resource.
