A number of ecologists and some economists have commented on the significance of persistence as a stability concept for jointly determined ecological-economic systems. This notwithstanding, the economics and the regional science literatures have paid scant attention to the problem of computing...

In this exploratory paper, we first make a case for considering the scarcity value of ecosystem services in analyses of jointly determined ecological-economic systems. Next, we point out that insight into the scarcity value of an ecosystem service can be gained generally by examining the manner...

Unless there is managerial intervention, the ability of an ecological-economic system to provide humans with key services will decline probabilistically. We model such an ecological-economic system with a Brownian motion process with negative drift. The manager’s goal is to prevent this...

For rangelands managed with spatial and temporal controls, [a] the long run expected net cost of management operations, [b] the long run rate at which grazing is moved from one paddock to another, and [c] the long run rate at which grazing has to be moved from one paddock to another because of...

Environmental pollution is introduced both as a joint product and as a source of disutility in growth models. The purpose is to explore vital questions such as: is environmental protection compatible with economic growth; is it possible to have sustained growth in the long run without...
