This research examines a spatially explicit allocation of habitat restoration activities in an Oregon watershed to meet water temperature targets for the benefit of endangered salmonid fish species. Integrating hydrological, biological and economic models, a series of optimization problems are...

The objective of this study is to develop spatially-explicit choice model and investigate its validity and applicability in CA studies. This objective is achieved by applying locally-regressed geographically weighted regression (GWR) and GIS to survey data on hypothetical dogrun facilities...

The feasibility of quadratic programming as a means of integrating agricultural pricequantity relationships and regional resource availability is demonstrated for a California test case. Estimates are developed for producer's and consumer's surplus, values of vegetables and field crop...

Increasing demand for water in the environment has increased the cost of irrigation water in agriculture leading to the adoption of water saving irrigation technologies, reducing agricultural return flows. However, when agricultural return flows are a source of environmental supply 'savings'...

Wildlife management agencies increasingly use economic analyses to improve the efficiency of their management policies. Few economic studies consider supply-side analyses for wildlife management, due, in part, to a lack of biological response data that capture the full range of management...

Severe declines in Pacific Northwest salmon stocks, coupled with increasing recreational demands, and judicial decisions supporting Native American fishing rights create challenges for fishery agencies. This article explores the welfare effects on recreational anglers of alternative salmon...
