Dynamic problems of pollution and resource management with stock externalities often require a di¤erential games framework of analysis. In addition they are represented realistically by non linear transition equations. However, feedback Nash equilibrium (FBNE) 1 solutions, which are the desired ones in this case, are di¢ cult to obtain in problems with non linear-quadratic structure. We develop a method to obtain numerically non linear FBNE for a class of such problems, with a speci…c example for shallow lake pollution control.We compare FBNE solutions, by considering the entire equilibrium trajectories, with optimal management and open loop solutions and we show that the value of the best FBNE is in general worse than the open loop and optimal management solutions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
