Doomsday Models

Doomsday models are computer models that simulate the economic status of the future

These models predict that after 2000, the resource base deteriorates and production per capita declines, leading to population and life expectancy declines

These models are highly controversial.  Some criticisms are:

  • technology and expanding resources have been adding to our resource base

  • market signals can cause us to use resources more efficiently

  • doomsday models assume absolute limits on resources - this is not a realistic assumption
