Models on CO2 abatement under uncertainty
Thomas S. Lontzek - 2009
account for (i) damage uncertainty and (ii) the declining ability of the deep ocean to absorb atmospheric carbon. In the … change issue. We ask the question how the optimal mitigation of climate change evolves if intrinsic uncertainty about damage … is inherent to the model. In particular, we are interested in how the effect of uncertainty on climate change mitigation …

Nambe Pueblo Water Budget and Forecasting model.
Brainard, James Robert - 2011
This report documents The Nambe Pueblo Water Budget and Water Forecasting model. The model has been constructed using Powersim Studio (PS), a software package designed to investigate complex systems where flows and accumulations are central to the system. Here PS has been used as a platform for...

Evaluation of Peak Pricing on Single-Family Residential Water Consumption in Seattle
Hsu, David - 2009
Public water utilities have increasingly turned to increasing block rate price structures to reduce water consumption and signal the high environmental costs of water supply. Hsu evaluates the impact of a new and substantially higher price block added to the existing block rate price structure...

Optimal harvesting of fish stocks under a time-varying discount rate
Duncan, Stephen; Hepburn, Cameron; Papachristodoulou, … - 2011
Optimal control theory has been extensively used to determine the optimal harvesting policy for renewable resources such as fish stocks. In such optimisations, it is common to maximise the discounted utility of harvesting over time, employing a constant time discount rate. However, evidence from...

Optimal Annual Changes in Harvests from Multicohort Fish Stocks: The Case of Western Mackerel
Kennedy, John O.S. - 1992
An optimising model is developed to determine the .sequence of total allowable catches of western mackerel which would result in the maximum present value of the stream of annual rents. It is found that the optimal steady state fishing mortality would be one half to one third of recent levels....

Multiobjective Bioeconomic Analysis: An Application to the Pacific Whiting Fishery
Sylvia, Gilbert; Enriquez, Roberto R. - 1995
A multiobjective bioeconomic policy model was developed for the United States Pacific whiting fishery. Pareto-optimal solutions for three policy objectives—rents, production, and female spawning biomass—were developed and analyzed using "hybrid" generating technique. Three policy instruments...
