Abstract

Natural resource availability and scarcity have become a central concern for the mid- and long-term economic development. Much of this relies on non-renewable resources, which are limited in their total availability. The aim of this paper is to develop a quantitative forecasting model which evaluates future resource availability. A focus is set on non-renewable resources in Australia. The presented model is based on existing statistical approaches for predicting future resource availability. From its application possible implications for Australia are revealed. The general results are complemented with a brief case study that assesses the introduction of electric vehicles and its impact on resource availability.
