The Dasgupta Review takes a global perspective. Biodiversity varies geographically, and the success of biodiversity actions is sensitive to national institutional and socio-ecological conditions. Therefore, the implementation of the options for change (OCs) suggested by the Review calls for a...

This study introduces a prototype model for evaluating policies to abate agricultural nutrients in the Baltic Sea from a Finnish national point of view. The stochastic simulation model integrates nutrient dynamics of nitrogen and phosphorus in the sea basins adjoining the Finnish coast, nutrient...

We analyse optimal phosphorus fertilisation and erosion control policies in a spatial, dynamic, steady-state framework. First-best instruments to incentivise farmers to undertake socially optimal choices are analysed both analytically and empirically. An empirical illustration is presented for a...

This article puts forward a model of the role of phosphorus in crop production, soil phosphorus dynamics and phosphorus loading that integrates the salient economic and ecological features of phosphorus management, with grain production in southern Finland as an application. The model accounts...

This paper puts forward a model of the role of phosphorus in crop production, soil phosphorus dynamics and phosphorus loading that integrates the salient economic and ecological features of agricultural phosphorus management. The model accounts for the links between phosphorus fertilization,...

The authors analyze the effect of advance ticket sales (ATS) on Finnish football league attendances. We postulate a linear ordinary least squares (OLS) model for log-attendance data from the years 1991-2007. Match day weather, timing of the match, team performance and match characteristics...
