farming is shown to depend on the prices of pesticide and grain. It is either optimal to use no pesticide or a moderate amount … of pesticide or to apply a chattering control. Pest eradication is never optimal. On the other hand, if the farmer takes … pesticide depending on prices as well as on the shape of the grain production function which is determined by micro parameters …

This paper reviews the impacts and costs of pesticide and fertiliser pollution as well as the policy responses to … health impacts of excess pesticide and fertiliser. In economic terms, nitrogen pollution, for example, has been estimated to … trends in both pesticide sales (per 1000 ha of agricultural land area), and pesticide use (in tonnes of active ingredients …

We consider an ecosystem management problem where managers can use habitat creation and predator removal to conserve an endangered species. Predator removal may become particularly important in the face of habitat loss, and ecosystem management strategies that ignore the influence of habitat are...

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...

Compensation schemes in which land owners receive payments for voluntarily managing their land in a biodiversity-enhancing manner have become one of the most important instruments for biodiversity conservation worldwide. One key challenge when designing such schemes is to account for the spatial...

This paper is concerned with the cost-effective allocation of habitat for endangered species under spatio-temporally heterogeneous economic development. To address the dynamic dimension of the problem we consider tradable development rights (TDR) as the instrument of choice. A particular...
