Agents interacting on a body of water choose between technologiesto catch …sh. One is harmless to the resource, as it allows full recovery;the other yields high immediate catches, but low(er) future catches.Strategic interaction in one ‘objective’resource game may induceseveral ‘subjective’...

We introduce a stochastic game in which transition probabilitiesdepend on the history of the play, i.e., the players’past action choices.To solve this new type of game under the limiting average reward crite-rion, we determine the set of jointly-convergent pure-strategy rewardswhich can be...

This paper develops a general equilibrium model to measure welfare eects of taxesfor correcting environmental externalities caused by domestic trade, focusing on externalities that arise through exports. Externalities from exports come from a number ofsources. Domestically owned ships, planes,...

We analyze a dynamic and stochastic ecological-economic model of grazingmanagement in semi-arid rangelands. The non-equilibrium ecosystem is driven bystochastic precipitation. A risk averse farmer chooses a grazing management strategyunder uncertainty such as to maximize expected utility from...
