We study the provision of information to tourists in a probabilistic setting. Specifically, we provide answers to three hitherto unstudied questions in the tourism literature. We first delineate a continuous-time Markov chain (CTMC) model of a tourist information center (TIC) and then we compute...

This paper studies two questions relating to the conservation of biodiversity in an intertemporal and stochastic framework. First, given the link between natural habitats and biodiversity, when should a social planner stop the habitat conversion process? Second, what is the connection between a...

This study analyzes two issues pertaining to the conservation of biodiversity in an intertemporal and stochastic setting. First, given the nexus between natural habitats and biodiversity, when should a social planner stop the habitat conversion process? Second, what is the link between a social...

The extant literature has paid scant theoretical attention to the tripartite interaction between increasing environmental regulations, the resulting decision by a polluting firm to upgrade its capital stock, and the impact of innovation on this capital stock improvement decision. Hence, we...
