We begin by pointing out that the rise in popular concern about the judicious management of natural and environmental resources has been matched by increasing scholarship by economists on several issues concerning the efficient use and management of these same resources. Second, we note that...

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...

The aim of this paper is to analytically review the contemporary scientific literature in range management. To this end, we first focus on the ecology and the management of rangelands. Second, we concentrate on the economics and the management of rangelands. Third, we shed light on significant...

Actions taken by a manager affect the health of the keystone species of an ecological-economic system. In turn, the health of these keystone species largely determines the resilience of the underlying ecological-economic system. What are the nexuses between managerial actions, keystone species,...

We provide the first strategic analysis of the interaction between a continuum of potentially green consumers and two firms in regional science. Firm 1 (2) sells new (remanufactured) toner cartridges. Each firm selects its price and a consumer purchases from the firm that offers her the highest...

The notion of resilience originated in the ecology literature in the modern or post-World War II era. Even so, this term has now found widespread use in the social sciences in general and in regional science in particular. Although this expansion in the use of resilience is welcome, it...
