Abstract

The author studies a perfect-information, rational expectations Markov equilibrium for the situation where a monopolist extracts a nonrenewable resource that is converted to a durable good. Even if short-run extraction costs are constant, the Coase Conjectur e fails, provided that the depreciation rate of the durable good is positive.
