Uncertainty and sustainability in the management of semi-arid rangelands

Quaas, Martin F.; Baumgärtner, Stefan; Becker, Christian; … - 2005

We analyze a dynamic and stochastic ecological-economic model of grazing management in semi-arid rangelands. 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 from...
