Maximizing profits and conserving stocks in the Australian Northern Prawn Fishery
Kompas, Tom; Dichmont, Cathy; Punt, Andre; Deng, A; … - 2008
The Australian Northern Prawn fishery (NPF) is one of the few that has adopted a dynamic version of a ‘maximum economic yield’ (MEY) target, and, on this basis, the fishery is undergoing a process of substantial stock rebuilding. This paper details the bioeconomic model that is used to...

Sustainability and integrated weed management in Australian winter cropping systems: a bioeconomic analysis
Jones, Randall E. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2005
Economic evaluations of the benefits of integrated weed management often only consider the benefits of management in the crop phase, and ignore the impact of rotational options. In particular, non-crop phases such as annual and perennial pasture phases can have a substantial impact upon weed...

Ecological-economic modelling of interactions between wild and commercial bees and pesticide use
Kleczkowski, Adam; Ellis, Ciaran; Goulson, Dave; Vries, … - Scottish Institute for Research in Economics (SIRE) - 2013
The decline in extent of wild pollinators in recent years has been partly associated with changing farm practices and in particular with increase of pesticide use. In this paper we combine ecological modelling with economic analysis of a single farm output under the assumption that both...

Hannesson, Rognvaldur; Kennedy, John O.S. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2007
Where a fish stock straddles or migrates between country A's exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and country B's EEZ, or the high seas, vesting ownership rights in the stock with A does not ensure efficient harvesting of the stock. This problem arises in the case of migratory tuna stocks in the...
