We find that the optimal groundwater extraction is reduced if spatial interactions are incorporated, and that … spatial heterogeneities such as crop varieties and soil types affect individual extraction. The socially optimal paths of …

Most economic studies of invasive species control ignore spatial and stochastic aspects. This paper covers this gap … setting. We show how stochasticity, spatial location of infestation and control can influence the spread, control efficiency …
