    • An Analysis of persistence, resilience, and the conservation of keystone species 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (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 ...

    • Aspects of ecosystem persistence and the optimal conservation of species 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (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 ...

    • Aspects of the theory of environmental policy in developing countries

      We study two issues relating to the conduct of environmental policy in developing countries (DCs). First, when faced with a self-financing constraint, should an environmental authority (EA) raise/lower pollution taxes ...

    • Dynamic environmental policy in developing countries with a dual economy 

      Lee, Dug; Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com/locate/, 2002)
      We analyze a dynamic model of environmental policy in a stylized developing country (DC) with a dual economy. This DC’s economy is distorted in part because the government subsidizes the exports of the non-polluting ...

    • A Game theoretic analysis of tariffs, dynamic inconsistency, resource conservation, and trade 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Taylor & Francis: The definitive copy of this paper can be found at: http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/title~content=t713684190~db=allt, 2005-04)
      Batabyal and Beladi (2004) have used a game model to study trade in a renewable resource between a single buyer and a single seller. The buyer uses a unit tariff to obliquely encourage conservation of the renewable ...

    • Human actions, the survival of keystone specise, and the resilience of ecological-economic systems 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (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 ...

    • An Interdisciplinary research agenda for the study of ecological-economic systems in the American West 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • Necessary and sufficient conditions for the equivalence of economic and ecological criteria in range management 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Elsevier, 2005)
      For rangelands managed with spatial and temporal controls, [a] the long run expected net cost of management operations, [b] the long run rate of moving grazing from one paddock to another, and [c] the long run rate of ...

    • On some aspects of ecological resilience and the conservation of species 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Elsevier. The definitive version can be found at http://www.elsevier.com, 1998)
      The importance of the notion of resilience in determining the static and the intertemporal behavior of jointly determined ecological-economic systems has long been recognized by ecologists. This notwithstanding, there are ...

    • 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 extinction of species in jointly determined stochastic systems 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet; Beladi, Hamid (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 ...

    • 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 ...

    • On the scarcity value of ecosystem services 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet; Kahn, James; O'Neill, Robert (Elsevier, 2003)
      In this exploratory paper, we first make a case for considering the scarcity value of ecosystem services in the analyses of jointly determined ecological–economic systems. Next, we point out that insight into the scarcity ...
