We analyze two hitherto little studied but salient questions concerning the trinity of asymmetric information, entrepreneurial activity, and the scope of fiscal policy in an open regional economy. First, we use a two period model to analyze the contractual relationship between entrepreneurs and...

The extant literature tells us that a seaport inspector who places a large (small) weight on biological invasion damage control relative to economic cost reduction will, ceteris paribus, inspect ships with containers more (less) stringently. Therefore, in this theoretical note we analyze the...

Recently, Batabyal et al. (2005) have used a queuing model to show that there is a tension between economic cost minimization and inspection stringency in invasive species management in the following sense: Greater (lesser) inspection stringency with a larger (smaller) number of inspectors leads...

A conceptual approach is commonly needed to provide guidance for empirical analyses concerning the use of renewable resources such as rangelands. The theoretical model constructed in this paper captures the essential aspects of dynamic and stochastic issues associated with the management of...

First, we study the spatial evolution of the commuting network over time ….

After a review of the literature, we address in particular the following …-economic network theories (e.g. entropy maximization, spatial interaction theory, etc.); (ii) the nature of the analytical relationship …
