The notion of a reservation value is a key feature of most contemporary dynamic and stochastic models of land development. It is clear that the magnitude of the reservation value has a fundamental bearing on the decision to develop or preserve land. This notwithstanding, many studies that...

The notion of a reservation value is a key feature of most contemporary dynamic and stochastic models of land development. It is clear that the magnitude of the reservation value has a fundamental bearing on the decision to develop or preserve land. This notwithstanding, many papers that analyze...

The Arrow-Fisher-Henry (AFH) analysis of land development under uncertainty has been conducted in a two period model. In contemporary times, Capozza and Helsley (1990), Batabyal (1996, 1997, 2000), and others have analyzed the question of land development under uncertainty in a multi-period...

Recently, Batabyal and Yoo (2003) have studied aspects of indivisible and divisible land development in a dynamic and stochastic framework. In this note, we complement the analysis in this paper by examining an aspect of the indivisible land development decision when a landowner has an...

The Arrow-Fisher-Henry (AFH) analysis of land development under uncertainty has been conducted in a 2 period setting. In recent times, Capozza and Helsley (1990), Batabyal (1996, 1997, 2000), and other researchers have studied the issue of land development under uncertainty in a many time...

The concept of a reservation value is a key feature of most contemporary dynamic and probabilistic models of land development. It is clear that the magnitude of the reservation value has a fundamental bearing on the decision to develop or preserve land. This notwithstanding, many articles that...

A collection of scholarly accounts and articles written by recognized experts in environmental economics, this book is the first of its kind and as a valuable reference and textual source for graduate students and active researchers. It draws together the pedagogical discussion of the key tools...

Significant advances have now occurred in the theoretical and in the empirical knowledge-base of researchers studying problems in natural resource and environmental economics. This has been accompanied by the utilization of many and varied research tools. These developments notwithstanding,...
