    • Modeling ecological constraints on tropical forest management: Comment 

      Barrett, Christopher; Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Elsevier B.V. The publisher's definitive copy can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/wps/find/journaldescription.cws_home/622870/description#description, 1997)
      We comment on four aspects of Albers' [1] model of ecological constraints on tropical forest management. Albers structures her model in a highly asymmetric manner, with strong, uniform biases against development and in ...
    • On some aspects of the management of a stochastically developing forest 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (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 ...
    • On temporal controls and the stochastic behavior of renewable natural resources 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/resourpol, 2002)
      This paper provides a theoretical analysis of the effects of temporal controls on the stochastic behavior of renewable natural resources such as fisheries and rangelands. First, we show that temporal resource management ...
    • On the optimal management of a class of aquatic ecological-economic systems 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet; Beladi, Hamid (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 ...
