    • 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 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 ...
    • A Probabilistic approach to optimal orchard management 

      Batabyal, Amitrajeet; Yoo, Seung (Elsevier, 2006-11-13)
      The formal study of orchard management in which an orchard is viewed as a jointly determined ecological-economic system is still in its infancy. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new way of looking at the problem ...
    • A Stochastic model of waste management with on and off site storage 

      Freitas, Luiz; Batabyal, Amitrajeet (Elsevier, 2007)
      When the regulatory threshold which specifies the maximum amount of waste that can be stored on site is exceeded, a waste generating firm must move waste to an off site location. Given that off site storage is costlier ...
