We analyze sustained economic growth of two trading economies, both using a non-renewable resource as a productive "growth-essential" input. Sustained growth is based on innovation, developed in one country and traded in exchange for resource, harvested in its counterpart. The growth rate in each country positively depends on the degree of substitutability of resource for technology.

Parrondian Games
  Gloria Cerasela Crisan, CIRRELT / ESG, UQAM / University of Bacau, Romania

Starting from two losing games, one can devise several combinations of them that are winning. This counter-intuitive property is known as the Parrondo Paradox. The same behavior appears in biology, economy, and finance. Here we present some Parrondian games and give an estimation of the probability of manifesting such behavior.
