Harvesting of prey biomass is analyzed in an integrated ecological-economic system whose submodels, a predator-prey ecosystem and a simple economy, are microfounded dynamic general equilibrium models. These submodels are interdependent because the ecosystem responds to harvesting - through the...

Economists have a good understanding of intra-economic interdependence and a mature methodology of modeling it. Ecologists focus on the complex and sensitive interactions of species in ecosystems. This paper's objective is to suggest a new micro-foundation of ecosystem analysis based on economic...

In der vorliegenden Studie überprüfen wir verschiedene Gebührenstrategien der Dualen System Deutschland AG (DSD) darauf hin, ob sie die pareto-effiziente Allokation in der Abfallwirtschaft implementieren. Dabei greifen wir auf eine disaggregierte Modellökonomie zurück, in der Material...

In dem vorliegenden Beitrag untersuchen wir auf der Grundlage eines statischen allgemeinen Gleichgewichtsmodells die Effizienz verschiedener Gebührenkonzepte einer Abfall-Management-Organisation. Diese wird von den Produzenten, die für die Verwertung und/oder Entsorgung der Verpackungsabfälle...

This paper examines a Waste Management Organisation's (WMO) pricing options to implement the Pareto-efficient allocation in an economy where materials are first extracted, then used for producing a consumption good and finally recycled or landfilled. The WMO is established by the producers who...

Campbell (1980) and following authors have disussed a limited resoure extration capacity as an augmentation of the well-known Hotelling model. We integrate a limited extraction capacity and related investments in the endogenous growth model of Tsur & Zemel (2005) to study its effect on economic...
