Human actions, the survival of keystone specise, and the resilience of ecological-economic systems
(Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/resourpol, 2002)
Human (managerial) actions affect the survival probabilities of the keystone species of an ecological-economic system. What are the theoretical connections between human actions, keystone species survival, and the resilience ...
On the optimal management of a class of aquatic ecological-economic systems
(Elsevier Science. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/dsw, 2001)
This paper studies aquatic ecological-economic systems such as the Chesapeake Bay. The stability of such ecological-economic systems depends on the successful functioning of a small number of generalist species in a wide ...
Aspects of ecosystem persistence and the optimal conservation of species
(Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com, 2000)
Although ecologists have long recognized the salience of persistence in determining the static and the dynamic behavior of ecological systems, it is only very recently that economists have begun to study this concept in ...
An Interdisciplinary research agenda for the study of ecological-economic systems in the American West
(Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/resourpol, 2000)
Increased public awareness off resource management issues and new attitudes toward resource conservation have led to great interest in the subject of the apposite use and management of natural and environmental resources ...
An Analysis of persistence, resilience, and the conservation of keystone species
(Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/, 2000)
Ecologists and economists are increasingly in agreement that ecological and economic systems are linked and that these systems should be viewed as one system. However, because this recognition has been recent, there are ...
On the extinction of species in jointly determined stochastic systems
(Taylor and Francis. A definitive copy can be found at http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals, 2000)
The sizable literature 0n extinction in economics has paid scant attention to the problem of constructing measures of species extinction. Moreover, this literature has not studied the question of species extinction in ...
The Stability of stochastic systems: The Case of persistence and resilience
(Elsevier. The definitive version is available at http://www.elsevier.com, 1999)
Beginning with the seminal work of Arrow and Hurwicz[1], there now exists a vast literature in economics on the stability of economic systems. This notwithstanding, to the best of our kno2wledge, the economics literature ...
Species substitutability, resilience, and the optimal management of ecological-economic systems
(Elsevier. The definitive version is available at http://www.elsevier.com, 1999)
The significance of the concept of resilience in determining the static and the dynamic behavior of jointly determined ecological-economic systems has been recognized by ecologists at least since 1973 [1]. This notwithstanding, ...
On some aspects of the management of a stochastically developing forest
(Elsevier. The definitive version is available at http://www.elsevier.com, 1998-05)
In this paper I focus on some important biological aspects of the forest management problem. I model a stochastically developing forest as a multidimensional, continuous-time Markov chain. Next, I pose three questions ...
An Optimal stopping approach to the conservation of biodiversity
(Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com, 1998)
In the past two decades, a considerable amount of concern has been expressed in academic and nonacademic circles about the decline in the world's diverse biological resources. Recently, Swanson (in: Biodiversity Loss: ...
