The maximum rent, the scarcity or Hotelling rent is the maximum rent that could be obtained while emptying the stock resource.

Harold Hotelling published a paper The Economics of Exhaustible Resources in the Journal of Political Economy in 1931, this analysis lead to what became known as Hotelling's rule. Hotelling was an American mathematical statistician and an economic theorist who is also associated with other phrases including Hotelling's law, Hotelling's lemma, Hotelling's T-square distribution in statistics. Hotelling's rule, although established in the 1930s became well know in the 1970s after the oil crisis and high oil prices because it looked at how the economics of finite resources, such as oil from an economic perspective.

Stadard capital economics, usually looks at how prices are established on normal goods or services in the economy, in the neoclassical sense or the demand and competition context, here the aims are to achieve maximum profits for producers with minimimal costs. In this scenario the economic rules general show that price equals marginal cost in perfect competition. Hotelling introduced into this equation the possibility resources are not infinately available, and many are indeed finitely with limited availabilty, such as coal, oil, natural gas (something people became increasingly aware of from the 1970s).

The rule shows that, in the profit-maximization scenario, if a resource is finite, the producer will not just charge a marginal cost, he will need to also charge a premium which he called the scarcity rent. This scarcity rent premium allows for the fact that once consumed, that one unit of finite resource, is no longer available in the future. So once this is factored into the equation the logical economics would be to sell the product or resource a price that increases at the rate of interest.

defines the net price path as a function of time while maximizing economic rent in the time of fully extracting a non-renewable natural resource. The maximum rent is also known as Hotelling rent or scarcity rent and is the maximum rent that could be obtained while emptying the stock resource. In an efficient exploitation of a non-renewable and non-augmentable resource, the percentage change in net-price per unit of time should equal the discount rate in order to maximise the present value of the resource capital over the extraction period.

This concept was the result of analysis of non-renewable resource management by Harold Hotelling, published in the Journal of Political Economy in 1931, on the basis of his previous research on depreciation (see Hotelling 1925),
