Uncertainty and sustainability in the management of semi-arid rangelands
Quaas, Martin; Baumgärtner, Stefan; Becker, Christian; … - 2004
We analyze a dynamic and stochastic ecological-economic model of grazing management in semi-arid range lands. The non-equilibrium ecosystem is driven by stochastic precipitation. A risk averse farmer chooses a grazing management strategy under uncertainty such as to maximize expected utility...

Incentives for Optimal Management of Age-structured Fish Populations
Quaas, Martin; Requate, Till; Ruckes, Kirsten; … - 2010
We study optimal fishery management in an age-structured, bio-economic model where two age classes can be harvested independently. We show that the optimal amount of catch differs with age classes, and we derive conditions under which it is optimal to harvest only one age class. Our main policy...
