An approach is present which integrates an economic and an ecological model for designing cost-effective compensation payments for conservation of endangered species in real landscapes. The approach is used to develop a cost-effective compensation payment scheme for conservation of an endangered...

An assessment of the consequences of biological invasions and of the measures taken against must be at the base of each social decision in this field. Three forms of uncertainty can be distinguished that make such a decision difficult to take: (1) factual uncertainty, which encompasses not only...

Flexible conservation management, where measures are selected in each decision period and depending on the current state of the ecological system, are generally perceived as superior to fixed management, where the same measure is applied in each decision period independent of the current state...

We exploit the known links between natural habitats and biodiversity to pose and study the biodiversity conservation … and nonautonomous policies play in the decision to conserve biodiversity over time and under uncertainty. We first … construct a dynamic and stochastic model of decision making in the context of biodiversity conservation. Next, we use this model …

This paper uses a model combining three strands within the bioeconomic literature: spatial management, pest and nuisance management, and enforcement under different ecological dispersal processes (i.e., sink-source versus density-dependent) to illustrate the dual management policy (i.e.,...

Designing agri-environmental schemes targeted at conservation poses the key question of how many financial resources should be allocated to address a particular aim such as the conservation of an endangered species. Economists can contribute to an answer by estimating the 'optimal level of...
